New feature: The Onyku™ proof of concept supports adding diagrams to design question guidelines using Mermaid code.
Onyku GitHub repository

Mermaid, combined with Git repositories, supports Open Knowledge principles.

Benefits

• No Licensing barriers: Mermaid is Open Source.
• Foster collaboration: Diagram codes stored on Git repositories can be easily shared and collaboratively edited. No need to recreate a diagram from scratch if the source file is unavailable.
• Consistent version control: Diagram As Code ensures that diagrams follow the same version control process as the rest of the code, eliminating the need to manage diagram source files separately.

It is now possible to add one or more diagrams by clicking ‘Add Diagram.’
A ‘Preview’ button is available to display the resulting diagram directly below the code, removing the need to leave the Design Question Guidelines form (e.g., opening a separate diagram application).

Welcome,

  • Improve the Knowledge Sharing module Proof of Concept.
  • Identify and start the process for applying for national and international grants.
  • Engage with sponsors to define sponsoring packages.
  • Identify synergies in Norway and establish partnerships.
• IT Consulting for Open Knowledge:

Additionally, there will be administrative tasks, such as setting up the international payment platform once the company becomes “MVA pliktlig.”
Please bear in mind that, so far, the founder is the sole employee, so delays may occur.

For any questions, suggestions regarding our missions, or technical issues with the website, please contact us.

* Since Onyku™ Knowledge Sharing Module guideline standards are not yet defined, we will use a pre-Onyku format. We will use Markdown files without a pre-defined format, stored on a public GitHub repository with an open-source license. Later, we will migrate all knowledge to the new standards.
