I recently spoke with Boris Woynowski from [http://wachstumswende.de/ Wachstumswende], a "degrowth" organization in Germany and connected across Europe; I also often talk with Donnie from the [http://web.archive.org/web/20210309041003/https://www.postgrowth.org/// Post Growth Institute] (they have a [http://www.facebook.com/postgrowth great FB page]) and we've also had contact with Rob Hopkins of the Transition Network; then there's Franz Nahrada in Vienna, connected to a lot of transition type people. These are all supportive of Appropedia. Boris just discovered us, but Donnie and Franz are active in telling people about us.

Now, I'm thinking about how to engage further with them and their communities. A landing page could also be good. Different from the typical topical portal, though, since they cover a range of issues, including community, alternative currencies, transport, liveable streets, edible landscaping, resilience, ending fossil fuel reliance... those are off the top of my head, but Wordle could help identify key topics. There's a lot of overlap in ideas and solutions between the degrowth/post-growth movements and transitioners, so I'm thinking that a single landing page is good, maybe a [[Portal:Transition]], but I may be wrong. What do you think?

(For the record I've often expressed doubt about the validity of the "post growth" terminology, but I realize that an imperfect name may be a good choice for communication purposes.)
