| This isa bit of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fork_%28software_development%29 fork], in the hope that it will be beneficial. ''(This very page, as you see, has already been translated, and next step is create the other pages, translate them and link each to its "original" in Spanish. Maybe doable in one day. Then, the "is being ported" part will change to "has been ported" and we'll go from there. Thanks for your patience - or help!)''

| The idea is to collect questions and answers, around basic issues, about each "place". It could be the Canary Islands, each island - or your place. The basic issues are people, territory, water, food, energy, transport. This information would be objective like in wikipedia, but centered around questions related to appropriate technology, developement, etc like in appropedia. One defining quality of information is it would be in easily understood units: it's difficult to grasp millions of kilograms of food per year, and easier to talk about grams per person and per day. | | * The main page has already been translated. |
| | | * The next step is to translate the subpages and link each to its "original" in Spanish. |
| A wiki is a practical place to start this, but it's not the most convenient way. Extra "features" are needed to signal areas that need more questions - and questions that need rephrasing, sources, information or recalculation. Perhaps it's a matter of using tricks already available in wikimedia (the software that runs wikipedia and appropedia), or maybe it's better to develop specific software for this.
| | * After that, we'll see. Probably set up a page with "developer comments". |

| The current intention is to port [[Canaripedia]] below this introduction, translating it into English and generalising it. After that, a person or team who wants to work on it using another territory could make a localised copy of the pages, and start filling them in. If that work is done in English, then more people would be able to help, both with the information and with the features that would be needed and the software that might be used or developed.
