- As noted in Appropedia:A history of collaboration, a number of efforts have already joined forces. Not otherwise mentioned here are:
- 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"
Closely related:
- 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
- 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.
Movements, networks and memes:
- Open source hardware as applied to AT.
- Open design - synonym, less specifically hardware
- open manufacturing list.
- Global Swadeshi forum & social network.

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.)
