21. Collaboration tradition
Routine tasks of museum house keeping
Highly educated personnel
no engineering skills
Knowledge sharing tradition
disturbing project management
Multidisciplinary sector
Can it be
Internet done ?
Affordable manufacturing Rapid technology developments
Active community of developers
Uncertain Credibility
Fragmentation of supply chain
