From c,mm,n
Welcome to the c,mm,n developers wiki.
This wiki is the first developers platform for c,mm,n - the open-source car. We are developing a dedicated web platform with many exciting functions, but until that is up and running we'll be using this. New: You will need to have an e-mail confirmed account to edit the pages of this wiki just to keep Viagra out...

What is c,mm,n?
c,mm,n is a mobility concept; a new way of developing, manufacturing and using cars. By making the blueprint of c,mm,n publicly available under an open-source licence we are able to develop truly sustainable mobility. Just like open-source software, c,mm,n focuses on services around the product. You can use c,mm,n to offer people a lease car, rental car or other mobility services. It is allowed to sell c,mm,n too. Just as long as you make any derived work publicly available again.
c,mm,n is currently in a concept stage. This means that there is a general view on the car, services and possible partners. Actual blueprints do not yet exist. Currently three non-working show models were built to communicate the concept. The aim is to develop a proof-of-concept car, to be demonstrated preferably at the Dutch biannual motorshow (AutoRAI) in 2009.

c,mm,n Foundation
The c,mm,n foundation is under development. It is a legal organization which will mainly exist to support the COPL; the c,mm,n open product licence. You are free to add your contributions to this development process.
