What is Appropedia?
Appropedia is a living library of appropriate technology information which began in April of 2006. Appropedia is a wiki, a type of website which allows anyone to add, remove, or edit content. On appropedia, registration is not required to view content, but is necessary to contribute.
Content on Appropedia
Appropedia includes and welcomes contributions of several types of content:
- Project histories and project how-tos
- Textbook-style information, tables, and figures
- Photographs and illustrations
- Information for finding supplies and help
- Links and information on other organizations
Posting encyclopedic content on Appropedia is discouraged, as wikipedia is a more-used resource for this style of article.
