Appropedia:Partners: Difference between revisions

Template:Shortcut

This page is under construction and may contain incorrect information.

Questions:

• Who can we safely mention, with their approval?
• Do in alphabetical order to avoid favoritism? Foundation partners first, then complete list incl foundation partners?

• Village Earth
• AFH or OAN

Content has been contributed by many organizations and individuals. These include:

• Village Earth
• Demotech
• Experiments in Sustainable Urban Living
• Practical Action (formerly ITDG)
• CD3WD
• The Sietch - coming soon. We're working on a way of importing blog summaries.
• Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group - coming soon. They use a CC2 license, and we're still working out the wrinkles.

Wikis:

• Sustainapedia.org - ongoing discussions about an even grander vision (actual name yet to be decided). Sustainapedia itself has an impressive list of partners... (okay to list some here?)
• The wikis who merged into Appropedia, enthusiastically choosing to collaborate: two fledgling wikis^[1] the very substantial WikiGreen, and the pioneering Appropriate Technology Wiki by Village Earth. Most recently, howtolivepedia has merged a large portion of its content into Appropedia.

One national Engineers Without Borders organization is moving towards merging their wiki with ours, and both sides are excited about this - but we'll be a little discreet and not mention which country till it's confirmed and official. We are engaging in conversations with EWB in different countries as well, and hope for cooperation with all such groups.

Related but different wikis. We have agree to link to relevant materials on each others' sites:

• Sustainable Community Action Wiki - focused on activism
• Issuepedia - focused on analysis of a wide range of issues.

Wikis engaged in ongoing conversations:

• Greenlivingpedia - who has given us some great pointers about serving the mainstream as well as hippie and super-geeky people; SustainapediaNW, TipThePlanet.

We also wish to tip our hat to the organizations who share a principle of openness, and allow their content to be reproduced here without our even asking. These include:

• FAO
• SODIS?
