There only appears to be a single research paper looking for an implementation. I click to read, it takes me to google scholar. I click the article, it takes me through to a pay site, where I must pay $15 to read the article...

In Google Scholar you can find a link to the PDF file in the right side of the research title.

Great idea! I look forward to see more research papers to help. I think that this project addresses a real need, often undervaluated in the academic research. This is the only project active in this space?

Thanks a lot. Sure, more papers will be added in the future.

It may be better to link directly through to the download in that case

I've been using the Unpaywall[0] extension, and it's been a godsend. It'll detect if the webpage is about an academic paper, and it'll display a green icon on the side to click on which will take you to a free, legally open distribution channel.

Maastar - slightly adjacent idea. Research papers sometimes involve data through which the hypothesis is made, getting access to this data can help understand hypothesis better. It can also fuel other ideas for people. Would be great to also have workspace where people can engage in active data-sleuthing through these shared spaces and workbenches.

very debatable that the world is a better place after the development of distributed processing engines.

Source: I'm a data engineer and almost every application I've seen in production made the world a worse place.

The manifesto is extremely naive and it's not a manifesto. A call to action with an ethical goal doesn't make sense without an ethical framework to decide what to implement and what not. Otherwise it's just implementation for the sake of implementation, nothing different than what is already done by random projects on GitHub.
