I've just set up a new OSArch Wiki!
Apart from the AEC free software directory, I've started placing guides and content related to OpenBIM. If there are any other ArchiCAD/Tekla/etc users, it would be great for you to contribute and add pages relevant to your main tool too!
Dion, does it support multiple labels? I think with labels we can categorize different tools/software/platforms
It's a wiki. It can do what Wikipedia does :)
Then it should have "metadata"
Please add these two tags:
Phase:
Strategic Definition
Preparation and Brief
Concept Design
Developed Design
Final Design and Fabrication
Construction (System Assembly, Integration, Test, Launch, ...)
Handover and Close Out
In Use (Operation and Sustainment, and Renovation)
Disposal
Also, Discipline or Role:
Supplier
Manufacturer
Contractor
Subcontractor
Architect
Structural engineer
Cost engineer
Client
Building owner
Building operator
Mechanical engineer
Electrical engineer
Project manager
Facilities manager
Civil engineer
Commissioning engineer
Engineer
Owner
Consultant
Construction manager
Field construction manager
General question:
You have these really nice youtube tutorials from @Ace
Then there is a really good tutorial in page in French from @RaphaëlVouilloz
Then there is this documentation written by @Moult I think?
There is a highover overview to be found here.
And there is the wiki page written by several people.
I sometimes make little tutorials for myself, because if I haven't touched it for a while I forget on how I did it..Also these dropbox clips @theoryshaw posts on this forum are really useful to me.
I would like to share some of these BlenderBIM tutorials I made for myself on the wiki, only they don't follow some guideline/course and are in general quite in depth.. I think. Is there some kind of wiki admin who moderates this? Or is there a policy/standard what a tutorial should adhere to? I think this wiki is the most useful place to start making tutorials. Plus I would like to create some tutorials specific for the Netherlands.. (Don't think that is any use on the wiki)

Here, me and @duncan gives some suggestions to editing on the wiki.
I've not really dealt with a custom wiki before, so just to canvas opinions.
Would it be duplication or even necessary to have a Blenderbim wiki page on Wikipedia?
I think there is a lot of legitimacy in having a Wikipedia article, Blenderbim has been around long enough.
Should this article be duplicated on Wikipedia itself? or somehow just referenced.
https://wiki.osarch.org/index.php?title=BlenderBIM_Add-on
From the world's point of view Blenderbim has no wikipedia presence
i would say go for it! :)

Definitely, just look in how many languages FreeCAD is described on wikipedia.
There are a number of requirements for writing an article on Wikipedia, and one of those is not to duplicate / copy paste data. There is also a lot of work to ensure that the topic is "notable enough": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Your_first_article and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
I cannot be the one who creates an article, as I am too biased and this is discouraged in Wikipedia's guidelines.
Interesting to note that we're mentioned https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeCAD#Native_IFC_Authoring and https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DCG%E3%82%BD%E3%83%95%E3%83%88%E3%82%A6%E3%82%A7%E3%82%A2 and https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender
@Moult It's definitely notable enough, I find 'notability' is not the issue with Wikipedia articles but 'references; from other online places, like magazines and publications, there are many South African Architects who are award winning and have designed hundreds of buildings, who find it difficult to prove they exist unless their awards have been documented online.
I added the IFC authoring portion to FreeCad because I saw there was a specific paragraph about DWG and nothing about Native IFC.
I saw there was no BlenderBim wiki page at all and lead to here. But any good wiki article starts with a red link to something that doesn't exist yet. Those Japanese wiki'ers are so on top of it hey.
Ok I'm going to collect a list of references for BlenderBim's wiki page, I think winning an EPICmegagrant and the GSOC collaboration aswell as the numerous mentions on youtube and forums and posts like Yorik's about Native Ifc should be good enough to Prove A (it exists) and B (It's notable)
IfcOpenshell also doesn't have a wiki page and that's a travesty so these are both on my list
Here are the most official references I can think of to prove that the BlenderBIM Add-on exists:
buildingSMART Awards Winner 2020
buildingSMART Summit 2020
BILT Presentation 2021
Keynote speech CAAD Futures conference 2021
Epic Games MegaGrant 2021
FOSDEM 2021, FOSDEM 2022,
GSoC 2021, GSoC 2022
Boao Forum for Asia 2022 (very significant, but no trace of it online)
BILT ANZ 2022
5th International ERA BIM Seminar by Sinaenco, Sao Paolo 2022
HafenCity University in Hamburg, Germany Lecture, 2022
AEC Magazine published article Native OpenBIM, and the rise of open source in AEC, 2022
EPFL Open Source for Architects Speaker 2023
Then of course a whole bunch of citations in academic articles: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=blenderbim&btnG=
I've added BlenderBim to the Comparison of computer-aided design software table here in the meantime:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_computer-aided_design_software
I know this isn't perfect but it's a start and it's wiki it can be edited hahah
I think IFC Openshell can be considered a technology? similar to Open Cascade? So I ganna see where it fits similarly.

It was removed...
It was removed with the reason of "non-notable software". I think notability is something that really needs to be proven before it can exist on Wikipedia. Perhaps all that is needed is the creation of the page itself with a lot of citations, but hopefully to withstand the peer review it needs to be rock solid before submitting.
I will try make this as rock solid as possible before attempting again,
