Testing image layouts

several images side by side – center:

the steep direct path

the long incremental path

info-box-template snatched from Wikidata

Wanted: Better layout for main-page. => learn from Wikidata.

• wikidata main page frame
• wikitata MP without pics
• How are those placed side by side?
• How are the images made to scale with browser-window-size?

For New Main Page

Don't fall pray to the prime distractions.

Where we're at and where we're headed to.

Current state

Template:Cutting edge
(wiki-TODO: make cutting edge info-box with: sketch of structural DNA hinge mechanism & atom placement demo)
(wiki-TODO: add infobox with structural DNA hinge left and atom placement example right – plus contxt images?)

Far term target

A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood.

The personal gem gum factory is: Your personal device that can push out virtually every thing* of your daily use. (* at least every inedible thing) The personal gem gum factory makes: Your products that are as cheap as the abundant mining-free raw materials that it processes. Your products that are far superior to today's best and ridiculously expensive high tech products. Your products potentially in an environmentally friendly effluent free way (also advanced recycling is faster than producing from scratch) Graphical Infosheets: [1] (work in progress)

(wiki-TODO: Nanofactory introduction infobox: both images need to go - (not anymore?)! make new better sketch of nanofactory - maybe add censored products pic - ditch or improve on covergent assemby)

What, Why, How, When

DEFINITION:	About APM	What APM is not and what it is.
MOTIVATION:	Reasons for APM	Why we need APM.
OBSTACLES:	conceptual and institutional challenges	What impedes progress towards APM.
APPROACH:	Pathways to advanced APM	How we get to advanced APM.
PROGRESSION:	Time till advanced APM	When we will get to advanced APM?

• the goals of this wiki and
• this wiki's impressum
• related 3D printing projects: educational illustration of various principles; ReChain project; RepRec project

For a new orientation page

The big picture – Tour by map

(wiki-TODO: improve formulation; match up with main chapters - replacing "template:Orientation" -- WANTED: two colum info-boxes with minithumbs and maybe circled numbers ❶ ①)

Main article: "possibility space"
TODO: reformat to be more vertical and reformulate

• (1) R&D with
  (1a) untargeted research discovering more surprising pathway entry points
  (1b) targeted engineering marching forward on identified pathway entry points;
• (2) path, especially incremental path with three technology levels (2a,2b,2c);
• (3) target backward preparatory design
• (4) far off target: gem-gum factory;
• (5a) gemstone based metamaterials,
  (5b) advanced products and
  (5c) more abstract consequences (good and bad) hard to quantify and blurring into speculation
• (green areas) Exploratory engineering. (dark green) known today.

(5b) Products, and effects – benefits and risks

(wiki-TODO: maybe add 0$-OSHW sign to gem-gum-factory infobox)
