<div class="gmail_quote">I'd like to introduce <a href="http://www.appropedia.org/">Appropedia</a>, a wiki for sustainability and international development, including public health.<br><br>Appropedia has thousands of pages of info, especially on appropriate technologies and project information. It's just scratching the surface of what's possible though, and we're working on greatly expanding the contents. <br>
<br>We are academics, students, non-profits, businesses and passionate individuals. There is an enormous amount to do, and we warmly welcome partners in the work.<br><br>One important task is identifying good information that we can use. We've had many discussions with OLPC people, who are very supportive of what we're doing, and I've heard that many NGOs working in health are happy to release their content under an open license so that it can be included in a bundle for the XO.* However we don't have the details.<br>
<br>Any concrete info on open licensed sources would be appreciated - e.g. we've been told that Hyperion is happy to share "Where there is no doctor", but the statement now on the Hesperion downloads page is definitely not an open license.<br>
<br>I look forward hearing from you,<br>Chris</div><br>PS Appropedia is a logical place to put content into wiki form and create bundles, as we are working on
bundles for the XO, and have worked out how to converting PDFs, Word documents and
HTML to MediaWiki markup.<br>-- <br>Chris Watkins<br><br>Appropedia.org - Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives.<br><br><a href="http://identi.ca/appropedia" target="_blank">identi.ca/appropedia</a> / <a href="http://twitter.com/appropedia" target="_blank">twitter.com/appropedia</a><br>
