Hi there Jerry!
I can empathize with how you feel. I have felt similar for years and sometimes it has been rough. I have come to realize that many of the things I thought I had to do on my own actually required help from other people, community level ideas requiring community level involvement.
I agree and think it wise to have a place where people can share and help others with ideas regarding how to do things with what they have at hand. I recently watched a TED talks episode where a young impoverished boy constructed his own wind turbine using information about conventional windmills and adapting it to fit the materials he had availible. It was an incredibly moving story about how 'open' open sourcing can and in many ways should be. Having a technical or engineering type site where people collaborate on varying designs of different plans would be awesome. The one thing I knoticed when looking at all of the GVCS was that many places in the world simply would not have access to the materials nessesary to build the machines.
I would be very interested in hearing more about your ideas regarding all of this!
