- these software are situated in specific contexts
- and contexts are different one from another
- there is not a _single_ _simple_ _smart_ solution™
- no one size fits all
- what is there though are some common features
- small scale and tempo
- a sociality around software
- an economy of different knowledges
- so the plan is research through these aspect
- and compile a list of resources
- to navigate this network of networks
