Wevolver

Wevolver provides access to high quality engineering projects, to help people develop better technology.[1] Their stated mission is to "enable anyone, anywhere to develop hardware that improves life." [2] Wevolver 1.0 was a project repository for strictly Open Source projects, but in 2.0, it has been expanded to include a version control system, and is available for use by private teams in addition to open source projects.[3]

Among the projects using their version control system are OpenROV, Plen, exiii hackberry, and InMoov.[4]

In interviews, Wevolver team members have said the strongest part of their platform is their community, with over 300k followers on instagram,[5] three news blogs, and myriad hosted projects, they've said the most important part of any Open-source platform is the people using it.[6][7]
