Work we want built.
When the Collective decides something should exist, we write the brief in public and invite anyone to answer it. A small studio, a lone developer and a university group all read the same page and bid on the same terms.
We publish briefs rather than quietly commissioning friends. It is slower, and it is the only way we can claim the result belongs to the community it serves. Every brief says what is needed, who it is for, what it pays and what it demands in return — an open licence, honest accessibility, and no surveillance of the people who end up using it.
If you know of a need nobody has written a brief for yet, tell us what to build instead. That page is for problems; this one is for the briefs they turn into.
Open briefs
Nothing open right now. Suggest something, or join to hear when the next brief goes out.
Placeholder briefs Budgets, dates and scope are illustrative. Nothing on this page is an offer until a brief is marked open with a real closing date.
