  1. Moderator: Chris! (how is this as a means of capturing moderators?
  2. Should moderators define categories in their areas?
  3. Should we add "snowmelt" to this? Or separate? Change to precipitation?
  4. This seems somehow below purification and sanitation.
  5. Isn't sanitation dealing with wastewater? Purification is making water drinkable? Whatever the name, wouldn't desalination fit here too?
  6. Are wells really for storage, or supply? If storage, is it still called a "well"?
  7. How is a Cistern different from a storage tank? Isn't it just a kind of storage tank?
  8. Does Macrobiotics belong in nutrition/diet?
  9. Change to "Health and Safety"?
  10. I'm concerned about the value and liability of "treatment" articles. I would suggest a conservative policy in the treatment area, or huge disclaimers. Both, really.
    • I'm not sure how conservative you are thinking, but I'd like to major on the prominent disclaimer and restrict editing as little as possible. --Singkong2005 · talk 03:56, 15 January 2007 (PST)
  11. What to include? Cysts, bacteria, virus, but not broken bones, sprains, cuts, concussions, malnutrition, exposure, heat stroke, dehydration?
    • Some are obviously development-related, like malaria... but I wouldn't be inclined to categorize diseases by pathogen type (Cysts, Bacterias, Viruses) - not at this stage, anyway. We're focusing on the technology and practice of treatment on prevention, not on the biology of the pathogen.
    • I guess the aim here is to suggest likely topics, rather than define limits? To be honest, I'm actually not sure why we need this table at all, as opposed to just relying on the category structure (which would also save a lot of work, and avoid getting out of date)...
    If we end up having pages on appropriate technology casts for broken limbs, and suitable transport for people in a delicate condition (with broken bones or internal injuries) in rough, poor situations, then we we might think about having a category for those topics. --Singkong2005 · talk 03:56, 15 January 2007 (PST)
  12. Prevention and treatment are called out separately. What else is there? Description, diagnosis, prevalence, perhaps?
  13. I dropped specific diseases under "diseases, and implicitly raised "prevention and treatement" within each category to be included with categories as, say, Cysts.
  14. Bacteria is already plural right? And yet, my gut says adding the "s" is okay
  15. Merged "improved pit latrines" into
  16. Although I had original suggested Banking as a category, I wonder if finance or even trade or commerce is a better meta term. For example, there are a variety of manufacturing articles that would seem to be supportive of sustainable development. Where do they belong? Another discussion might be licensing, permits, cap-and-trade, etc. Not all are applicable to 3rd world
  17. Do we have techniques and structures reversed?
  18. I now prefer ICT as a name, as longs as it's abbreviated. I've seen it everywhere...
  19. Is networking a better generic term, that would encompass Internet?
  20. While wikis are not necessarily internet-based, could they fit there (or even easier, in Networking) for our purposes?
  21. Use the broader term, most are hydrogen anyway
  22. Cooking? Include solar ovens?
  23. Even if, technically, there are thermal and nonthermal version of solar hotwater, Chris and I agree that "solar thermal" is overly pedantic and not natural. In any case, choose the larger label that can include both thermal and non-thermal solar hotwater
  24. This can also be done in the lower part of walls, right?
  25. seems related to Land Use...Community? Transportation with land use in community?
  26. What the hell?
