Background

Purpose

The Four Areas

The four proposed areas (hopefully namespaces), are Category, Article, User and Working. More areas may be necessary:

Category Pages

  • Include textbook or encyclopedic style entries, mostly from experts.
  • Serve as categories for the original research, case studies, projects and how-to's in the Article namespace.
  • Can be browsed by all for edification.
  • Can be linked together on Working teacher pages for a curriculum, think:
Week 1: Study and edit if necessary Greywater 
        read and comment if desired Greywater at the Arcata Educational Farm 
                                    55 Gallon Drum Processed Greywater


Article Pages:

  • Include original research, case studies, project writeups, how-to's
  • See the List of Projects for examples
  • I think I would rather this be called Project Namespace, but with no need to preface pages with "project:".

User Pages:

  • Are for networking
  • Include personal information such as affiliations and interests
  • Include Organizational information such as services provided, needed, hours and links to organizational webpage.
  • Utilize the discussion tab for contact and correspondance with potential partners.

Working Pages:

  • Are common, collaborative, working pages
  • Include pages for relevant grants
    • Find a grant that would be great for you, but you do not quite meet the criteria? Post it here for others to review.
  • Highlight events
    • Publicize your event here
  • Serve as calls for assistance and offerings of assistance
    • Have services to offer/request? How about materials to offer/request? Post it here (would craigslist be better?)
  • Include book/link/article/tool reviews
    • Suggest and review resources here
    • Unlike the Categories and Articles, which should attempt unified result (Categories more than Articles) through peer review, reviews themselves should show personal opinions, with some editing as needed for neatness/spelling/appropriatedness, to avoid a "from the pulpit" endorsement of a given resource. (Thank you Yamaplos)
  • Highlight local where-to-find-supplies pages
    • Think yourtown_yourregion_supplies. Place to post where to find supplies in your area.
    • Free bins, thrift stores, junk yards, repair shops, wood piles, clay piles.
    • See Humboldt CA Supplies for an early example.
  • Highlight global where-to-find-supplies page
    • Internet and catalog resources
    • See Global Supplies for an early start to this page
  • etc.

I see the Category and Article Namespace working together as follows, for example the users can:

  1. Look up greywater (category)
  2. Read about greywater concepts (category)
  3. View case-studies, how-to's and common errors to avoid for various greywater projects (article)
  4. Edit and add their own greywater experiences, projects, how-to's and common errors to avoid (article)
