We've made our platform as lightweight as possible. Download our code, host it yourself and follow the installation wizard. Plus, our code is fully documented for those who want change features or looks.
Not only does it look good on your desktop computer, it can be used on every mobile device as well. The front page is your project main landing page. No messy overview of multiple projects with different objectives.
It's your platform, so don't be prude, make it your own, add your branding and colour schemes. Have a lot of projects and different topics? You can host multiple instances that be adapted to specific targetgroups.
Open Knowledge Belgium and iDROPS discussed about projects and quickly found that finding resources for small projects was a common problem. We thought crowdsourcing efforts would be brilliant but did not find the right channel. Hence W4P came to life as an idea.
Six months later, we found the perfect project call. Chest project - Call3 was looking for Open Source innovation prototypes that could potentially transform social innovation. We submitted and hoped for the best.
Now we have just 8 months to research, code, build, test and iterate upon this project. Tight deadline but we have the experience and goodwill to make this succesful.
Our project period ends on the end of May, so in June 2016 we will have released our shiny new crowdsourcing template. By then we hope to have a few good cases and a lot of potential re-users.
We are a small team of organisations based in Belgium with extensive experience in digital/social/open innovation projects.
