| - Appropedia is a wiki for permaculture, appropriate technology, alternative building, renewable energy etc. It is broadly focused on practices and technologies for sustainability and human development, with many detailed pages on food growing. We are always interested in collaborating with other wikis, organizations and individuals - including PermaWiki!
* Official site: Appropedia
* Starting page for permaculture: Permaculture
- Appropedia is a wiki (like Green Wiki) with a focus on permaculture, appropriate technology, green buildings, renewable energy and all practices and designs or technologies for sustainability, as well as human development (international aid, development projects etc). Appropedia's emphasis is on
* Rigorous analysis of green issues, to separate fact from fiction and determine exactly what needs to be done to solve the crises we face
* Sharing practical project information, to benefit from others' experiences. and so that successful actions can become the blueprint for action by others.

| - Appropedia is an online encyclopedia, which is intended to be a tool in the development of collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction and international development through the use of sound principles, appropriate technology and the sharing of wisdom and project information. The selection of topics covered in the encyclopedia, and the emphasis in its articles, reflect its fundamental purpose. It is a wiki, a type of website which allows anyone to add, remove, or edit content. Registration is encouraged but not required for contributors. Appropedia has been described as an "appropriate technology wiki", but it is much broader than that - it is a green wiki, and a wiki for all matters of international development and aid. But most importantly, Appropedia is an open site for stakeholders to come together to find, create and improve scalable and adaptable solutions. Anyone who has knowledge of any topic that falls within the description above is welcome to contribute an article about it, or to edit an existing article. In terms of the breadth of its focus, Appropedia is intermediate between Wikipedia, which is all-encompassing, and this Solar Cookers World Network wiki, which concentrates on solar cooking. Appropedia focuses on green and progressive topics, including, but not restricted to, solar cooking. Its scope is therefore wider than that of this wiki, but narrower than that of Wikipedia. Appropedia began in April of 2006. In the earliest stages it was a collaboration between passionate people from the United States and Australia, and quickly expanded to become a global project.[1] Appropedia includes many articles on solar cooking.'[2]

* Sharing content - both wikis use the same open license which gives us great freedom to share, as long as attribution is given.
* Each wiki can link to good articles on the other wiki. You can use the interwiki link form, e.g. [[Appropedia:Pagename]]
* If something is unsuitable for one wiki but suitable for the other, it can be moved (transwikied) and linked, rather than deleted.
* Interwiki collaboration month, and any other way that the communities wish to communicate and share ideas and strategies. We face huge challenges, bigger than we can face alone. Let's work together!
