Perhaps we come closer to the purpose of this plattform if we have a short look at the name. The german word "Manufaktur" (manufactory) points to the goal of the process referenced in the second part ("in Gründung" - in the process of being launched). This is what I understand of manufactory:

• physical goods
• local production in terms of short ways of transportation to markets and from resources
• machine supported production but not or only partialy automated
• low division of labor
• manufacturing of small series to reach a certain level of efficiency but still be flexible enough to customize
• human scale: just as complex (in terms of processes, number of staff, etc.) as the average joe might understand
• craftsmanship is more important than knowing how to program some computer controlled machine
• entrepreneur not manager

In the process of being launched, the second part of the name, makes clear: this is a process. With the goal of having a running manufactory. Which enables people to make a living.

There is some more meaning not represented in the name ... which is or will be explained later in the work journal.

From the enthusiasm and ingenuity of the Do It Yourself (DIY) movement, fear free handling of (own) intellectual property and the power of collaboration post-industrial locally sourced production facilities emerges producing usefull und sustainable goods.

[BTW: Is there an english analogy to "Manufaktur"? ]

[Update]

1 I guess "Manufaktur" is simply translated as "manufactory". At least according to LEO.
