General Maintenance[edit | edit source]

Frequent[edit | edit source]

check recent changes, new pages, and anonymous edits for spam and genuine editors needing help
welcome genuine (non-spammer), non-student (presumably already given an in-person intro) users

Periodic[edit | edit source]

Most of these are on hold until the automatically-populated categories are fixed. -20:32, 25 July 2016 (PDT)

diffuse categories
salvage content from Wikipedia
categorize uncategorized pages
create useful categories
clean up double redirects (create a bot for this?)
categorize uncategorized categories. done 19:13, 3 October 2015 (PDT)
fix or delete broken redirects done 18:27, 31 October 2015 (PDT)

Long-term and on-going[edit | edit source]

~~implement main page redesign~~ done, early 2016
port PermaWiki content
- skipped pages (these will need to be more carefully considered, and possibly split into multiple articles): David Holmgren, Ecological footprint, Ecovillage, Forest garden, Guerilla gardening, Hubert peak theory
add links to subpages of http://www.africanvernaculararchitecture.com/ to relevant country articles
glean article ideas from /r/Permaculture
build up content for young and beginning farmers
create "tool box" of techs
take a close look at pages needing attention to figure out where I can help
finish porting Shikigami Forest Garden
port Farmers of Forty Centuries: text and images
format Three Acres and Liberty
break up Micro-livestock into smaller pages per this suggestion, and fix formatting
import Wikipedia or other content for wanted pages ?
port content from Survivor Library ?
~~Revamp Portal:Permaculture~~ good for now 05:08, 12 October 2015 (PDT)
~~port Permaculture.info content~~ done 18:13, 9 October 2015 (PDT)

One of my favorite things about the concept of appropriate technology is that it eschews the high-tech/low-tech dichotomy. When analyzing a specific situation, we don't need to be beholden to this somewhat arbitrary distinction to decide what technologies would have the best fit. I'd like (eventually) to build up the "low tech" and supposedly obsolete tech content on Appropedia. Often these technologies are the domain of hobbyists, so we could seek contacts in the primitive skills and historical reinactment coummnities for people interested in documenting them.

This is a list of some of the potential tools, structures, processes, techniques and foods we could cover:
