forum/blog post, content notes

Idea for page and blog/forum post re architecture:

Open source (free to use) software for architectural design
- + CAD?
- + OAN platform,
- + that one that Vinay mentioned that never took off (search chats)

Forums:

http://forums.permaculture.org.au/ is active (and getting more active? how to reliably judge that?)

Sustainable Humane Habitat in Developing Contexts - They seem very relevant to us and also connected historically with Engineers Without Borders UK - raise with Andrew Lamb.

Bring into any discussion on open design, and OSN.
Note they are funded by the European Commission's Asia Link Programme. This programme has been established in order to fund projects promoting Euro-Asian partnerships between research institutions addressing environmental and social challenges. Not exactly something we are likely to get as a US based org, but might give some ideas.

To do:

effect of keywords in PD search, e.g. reports
TT-related content
- search terms for Appropedia's Public Domain Search - TT doesn't work.
- UP, housing options
- transport - port this & anything good on this site.[1][2]
- other TT themes/areas of focus?
  - need to be self-sufficient... with good local food networks, less energy consumption per head and strong practical skills,
  - climate change deals with the invisible and has very little positivity about it, whereas this is all about positivity. Everybody can get stuck in and design the change - it is very much a bottom-up initiative. - empowerment, participation, cf subsidies.
  - war footing, and TT as a leading example
  - TT & climate change - not necessarily constructive (if the change is to other fossil fuels) but most likely the general awareness and people's tendency to conflate issues mean that support for TT will mean a support for sustainable action, not ways to replace oil with coal.

original docs in mainspace; check what links to {{Includes content from}}, and also update that template.
Alan Alda as a supporter of green tech?
how does http://www.approvideo.org/blogs/ instruct/relate to Appropedia functionality?
~~contact a sympathetic WP admin re hexayurt article, getting a copy.~~ done.
Wikipedia:appropriate technology examples -> each relevant topic page. Can be expanded and analyzed in a way not suitable for Wikipedia. Also consider adapting definition section (Jottings on appropriate technology?)

(Vinay, Mich, Mel...): Kiwanja, NGO-mobile. Innovative ideas for mobiles.
