Wiki profiles
June 26th, 2012 at 8:26 am June 26th, 2012 at 8:26 am by Chriswaterguy
We're doing a series of wiki profiles on this blog. We look at the goals of these wiki projects, what has worked, and what hasn't.
Most are wikis that (like Appropedia) cover sustainability - often a very specific subtopic of sustainability - and they form our green wiki blog series. We hope that better understanding will lead to greater collaboration.
Education is also a focus for Appropedia, so as well, we'll be looking at wikis and wiki programs dedicated to education, including students who edit Wikipedia and receive credit.
We also have a table of wikis in the fields of sustainability and international development - 113 at last count, with data including size and activity. Sadly, most of them are inactive. Setting up a wiki is easy enough - establishing an active wiki community is a whole different matter.
If you're part of a wiki team or wiki community that hasn't been mentioned here, please leave a comment, or contact us at @appropedia or on Facebook.We'd love to learn about your project - or perhaps do an interview.
And if you're a green or development wiki that is not in the table - click edit and add yourself.

Hello! Have you seen Practical Plants? It's a CC licensed collaboratively edited plant encyclopedia and database, with a strong focus on plants with edible, material, or medicinal uses, or design functions. We've just launched with over 7000 plant articles, and we're looking for help building a community to create a collective resource for the global community. Drop me an email if you have any questions

Thanks Andru, checking it out now. It looks really nicely done. I've heard of the PFAF database, which you've made excellent use of - wasn't aware of the licensing.
I'd like to do a blog interview with you - let me work out some questions and get in touch with you.

You may prefer to get your Nike sports jacket footwears at a less expensive offer and for that reason you are looking for a homeowner that has the largest rebate. Called the Sports jacket SB, it includes a single with added padding, making it preferable for skating board.
