Love to see repairability prioritized.
The HN crowd would enjoy the Global Village Construction Kit's work on an open-source tractor

And their other open source machines they deemed "critical for civilization"
Does this project go anywhere? Looks like it's at the same stage it was 10 years ago.
They're not very online but they are still doing workshops and stuff in person. Their home page shows some events in 2025 but if you really wanna get involved you would probably need to connect offline. I have a friend of a friend who's involved and they seem pretty dedicated
So what's their status now? Do they have plans/BOM's for, say, the tractor?
Their internet things are quite terrible but they do workshops and build things.
