- 3. Sharing knowledge to build rich, sustainable lives. Appropedia began in April of 2006 Appropedia vision is that all of humanity is able to work together developing and realizing rich, sustainable lives. Appropedia builds the infrastructure, and help make the connections and populate free content to effect that vision. 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
- 4. Context Appropedia welcomes contributions of many types of content: Project histories and project how-tos Textbook-style information, tables, and figures Designs Photographs and illustrations Information for finding supplies and help Links and information on other organizations Collaboration pages for co-creating solutions Discussion pages for commenting on work done and work that needs to be done More - whatever aids the causes of sustainability and overcoming poverty. Current content

(their cc-by-nc license http://xkcd.com/license.html)Appropedia helps:release the vacuum assumption by bringing the context of the pressing needs, and amazing resources, of the global community.peel back the frictionless assumption by providing traction for the spinning wheels of the students… so that their work does not just sit on a shelf, but instead informs and interacts with a community.
- Students now – know moreStudents know more about the problems facing the world today then ever before.They are also more ready to take action.A panacea now – not a chanceNo one solution will fix all our problems.Teachers now - oracles versus facilitators Teachers now are less useful as oracles of information (thanks to Google) and more useful as facilitators of processes.Communities now – countless solutionsCountless solutions are being implemented right now, and done well, in communities all around the world.Too many wheels are being reinvented.

- Appropedia’s Vision:Our vision is that all of humanity is able to work together developing and realizing rich, sustainable lives. We build the infrastructure, and help make the connections and populate free content to effect that vision. We provide the living resource library of individuals and organizations working towards a sustainable, healthier future, so that efforts can be spent evolving instead of duplicating past efforts. To effect that mission we promote and manage the web infrastructure that gives tools to share sustainable solution.
- In a given month all but a few countries visitAppropedia. While some countries only have a few dozen visitors, they often view a lot of pages per person.
- We see systems like the Old Growth Cellars Rainwater Catchment (http://www.appropedia.org/Old_Growth_Cellar_rainwater_catchment), which has seen less than 10,000 page views, but has been recreated around Mexico and the United States. We see systems like the solar lawnmower (http://www.appropedia.org/Solar_Charged_Lawnmower) which has inspired and befuddled through its almost 100,000 pageviews.These two examples:http://www.appropedia.org/Old_Growth_Cellar_rainwater_catchment 5,000 views - replicated and adapted around the US and Mexico.http://www.appropedia.org/Solar_Charged_Lawnmower 85,000 viewsMore examples:http://www.appropedia.org/CCAT_Wash_n_Flush 17,000 viewshttp://www.appropedia.org/Photovoltaic_vaccine_refrigeration_at_Centro_De_Salud 8,000 views
- We do that because we like to see better wheels built by learning from each other.http://www.appropedia.org/Full_Belly_Project
