Osafa.org has just launched and will be a Wikipedia-like platform where the "source code" of construction projects, i.e.
- mipango ya orofa,
- maelezo ya nyumba,
- insha/picha na
- commercials calculations
are being shared under an open licence, ready to be reused or adapted, without licence fees.
We want to apply the success factors of Open Source Software to the intellectual wisdom of African architecture. Osafa is to be used by all stakeholders of construction projects in Africa, professionals and hobbyists, Africans and non-Africans, world changers and business people alike.
