Appropriate technology wikis
- Appropedia, and the following projects that have merged with Appropedia:
- Wiki Green
- The Appropriate Technology Wiki Project by Village Earth.
- The WinWinWiki and [[
- As noted in Appropedia:A history of collaboration, a number of efforts have already joined forces. Not otherwise mentioned here are:
- Akvopedia
- Howtopedia
- Open Source Ecology
- Open Source Ecology: Mid-Missouri
- Fab Lab Wiki
- Hexayurt & How to Live Wiki
- Demotech
- Various Wikia sites:
- Solar Cooking Archive Wiki - an exceptional example of an active wiki on a narrow topic. Now the organization is branching out (e.g. portable microbiological labs), this raises additional issues.
- Renewable Energy Design Wiki (& in Italian: Energie Rinnovabili Alternative.)
Not quite "appropriate technology"
Wikis
- P2P Foundation - catalogs ideas in related fields.
- UNDP WaterWiki
Sustainable design, if not Appropriate technology:
Check:
- Ekopedia
- SDWiki
- TipThePlanet
- Wikia Green
- Wiki Green
- Many green wikis, that are not so much about design, but do have useful information about sustainable technologies, processes and practices.
Non-wiki
- MIT Collabatorium - highly structured; in concept phase.
- OAN - very visual and requires the use of tools to create/present the design: CAD...; starts from a single viewpoint - is there an equivalent of a stub?
talk of OSAT
- STAR-TIDES - uncertain commitment to platform, but making some use of Appropedia.
- ThinkCycle? Didn't take off.
Movements and networks
- open manufacturing list.
- Global Swadeshi forum & social network.
- WikiIndex: The Wiki Synergy Project (set up by Chriswaterguy) - more of a manifesto, intended as something to point people to.
Concepts, memes
- Open source hardware as applied to AT.
- Open design - synonym, less specifically hardware
- Open Source Appropriate Technology - used especiall
Notes on these efforts
- Languages
Collations of knowledge
- Moulin - Focused on Wikipedia content. (French based, Africa focused plus Persian language. Renaud Gaudin spent several months volunteering with Geekcorps Mali. They're working with the US Peace Corps, in discussion with UNESCO? Apparently approached OLPC in the past, so they're interested in cooperating.)
- The Jhai PC and Communication System, a project of the Jhai Foundation, is a computer and communications system designed to meet the needs of villagers in remote and rural areas. (Some thought has been given to providing content on the machines; openness is an expressed value of Jhai.)
