Our main ways of finding good quality pre-existing content are:
- Porting content which we have permission to use. We should start with documents with few images; those with many images to upload will work better when we have a MultiUpload extension or similar tool.
- Porting open access content, especially CD3WD.
- Wikipedia pages can be the basis for a good Appropedia article, with some work. The best way is to do many at once, and this is planned for early 2009 (by Chriswaterguy) - see: Appropedia:Finding content/Wikipedia pages to port and adapt and add suggested categories.
- Appropedia:Memorandum of Understanding/OLPC
- Creation of content by students in service learning.
- MoUs with organizations that produce content.
- Public domain content. The best way is to use it to find sites or subsites which are public domain, then port the relevant pages. See the Public Domain Search (needs work, but is already useful) and Appropedia:Porting_pages #Public domain and other open content information. We would attribute such content with the {{pd source}} template, even though attribution is not technically required for public domain work.
