Appropedia welcomes the WikiGreen community! For the last few weeks, folks at WikiGreen and Appropedia have considered how best to collaborate on our shared goals. The decision: Assimilation! So, in less time than it takes to build a strawbale greenhouse, nearly 1000 pages and more than 1000 images have been migrated from WikiGreen to Appropedia. Yay! It was a pretty clean process, but some tidying up continues. Please pardon our "dust" as we wrap up the integration. And, as usual, your help and feedback is valued! |
Appropedia is a living library wiki, focused on success in two global initiatives:
- Reduce poverty through International Development
- Increase Sustainability through the use of Appropriate Technology
Appropedia follows an open design approach. Anyone can write or edit articles, anyone can plant the seed of an idea and any group can use these pages to work collaboratively, all to further the success in our global initiatives. Others will build onto the ideas, contribute to the work or get inspired to create something new altogether. Which of your ideas, projects or current works would you like to add? Would you like to help in our exciting project of porting valuable information from other sites (with permission of course)? The table below has some ideas for contributors. We invite you to start today.
Or perhaps you came here in search of information. The material on this site is here free (as in speech) for your use!
