As soon as some significant body of structural knowledge and case studies have unfolded, the contributions will be imported into an appropriate Wiki framework for further road-mapping and content delivery.

The basic assumptions guiding this social group are summarized in the following links (translation as an art and as a science, now to be collaboratively converged). It is encouraged to become knowledgeable about these up-to-date and state-of-art benchmarks describing the situational contingencies happening now.
