There is somewhat of a resurgence happening, with a growing number of organisations adopting Open Source Appropriate Technology (OSAT) such as the Open Source Ecology project which is working towards a Global Village Construction Set (GVCS), with blueprints "for the easy fabrication of the 50 types of industrial machines that it takes to build a small civilization with modern comforts" [^osat]. They apply open design principles to AT. A big potential of OSAT is that designs are free as in gratis and as in libre, they can be peer-reviewed with iterative improvements which can stimulate development, increase quality over time and generate adaptations to specific local needs.
