+====== A collection of Rules and principles for and from Design Practice ======
+Some people collect stamps, we collect rules: funny ones, stupid ones, useful, the best of the best… like for example the [[extras:wissikon:design-development:gestalt-rules|Gestalt-rules]]. Break them only if you know them (//rule no. 18//).
+  * **Modularity & Hackability by Design** (Projekte werden von Anfang an so gestaltet, dass sie erweiterbar, reparierbar und neu konfigurierbar sind: steckbare Module, standardisierte Schnittstellen, leicht zugängliche Schraub- statt Klebeverbindungen!)
+  * **Remix und Hack** (Vorhandene Dinge werden umgebaut, „gehackt“ oder kombiniert, um neue Funktionen zu erzeugen. Remix meint bewusste Weiterentwicklung existierender Projekte statt reinem Neuanfang.)
+  * **Community Impact & Empowerment** (Projekte sollen nicht nur technisch „cool“ sein, sondern Menschen befähigen: z.B. assistive Technologien, Bildungs-Tools, Reparaturinitiativen oder lokale Infrastruktur-Prototypen.)
