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. Registration is encouraged but not required for contributors.

Appropedia includes and welcomes contributions of several types of content:

  • Project histories and project how-tos
  • Textbook-style information, tables, and figures
