It's a software architecture that lets us do what debian did for 
software -- aggregating tens of thousands of programmers -- but with 
other projects, on OWW it's science. Instead of a dry wiki, you have a 
wiki that is built on a file repository, with data files provided by 
whoever submits content, which can be immediately used in other 
projects. And then you get easy "apt-get install <centrifuge>" 
commands, or "apt-get install <uncoli>" etc. I am actually not too good 
at predicting what projects will show up on the map, but those are 
valid guesses.
