Mazingira na viumbe hai wengi kama vile maduka ya programu ni aidha wazi au curated. Lakini kwa nini hawawezi tuna wote? Vizuri, tunaweza — wote unahitaji ni verbs tatu: kuchapisha, kupata, na kama. Kwamba huenda kwa ajili ya teknolojia na kitu kingine chochote.
Kawaida kuna chaguzi mbili wakati unataka kuchapisha programu: kuchapisha kitu kama iOS App Store (ambapo watu watakuwa kupata programu yako, lakini Apple reviewers anaweza kukataa kuwasilisha yako) au tu kuiweka kwenye tovuti yako (ambapo ni rahisi kuchapisha, lakini hakuna mtu dhamana utaona hilo.) Not the greatest set of options.
Isn’t there a way to combine the strengths of both of these to make for the best possible experience for both publishers and consumers? I think there is. It’s called an open and curated ecosystem. Let’s take a look at:
- What open na curated ecosystems are
- Examples of open and curated ecosystems
- What you need to make an open and curated ecosystem
- Examples of these ecosystems beyond just technology
and see if we can discover something about the power of crowdsourcing, innovation, and the three verbs kuchapisha, kupata, na kama.
Curated vs. open ecosystems
The iOS App Store and open internet, among others, are app ecosystems — places where apps can be published and found. And I think the big factors that differentiate one ecosystem from another are whether the ecosystem is open, where anyone can publish apps and whether it is curated, where the best apps rise to the top and users are assured quality apps. That’s the major difference between the iOS store and the internet at large, which I mentioned earlier.
Let’s look at examples of curated and open ecosystems and what differentiates them.
