If you are not sure if a new link belongs here, please check Other Links for other alternatives.

See first the essential projects that are doing what we are doing, and that we have little choice but to work with and improve.

Wiktionary - A spin off from wikipedia. The free dictionary and thesaurus in every language if it gets done someday. GFDL also. Not much happening there now.

http://wikibooks.org - Yet another great idea being put forward by WikiMedia Foundation. Wikibooks is dedicated to developing and disseminating free, open content textbooks and other classroom texts

http://www.disinfopedia.org/ - a collaborative project to produce a directory of public relations firms, think tanks, industry-funded organizations and industry-friendly experts that work to influence public opinion and public policy on behalf of corporations, governments and special interests. And yes, it's in the GFDL part of the world (Running Wikipedia3)

Recyclopedia - The goal of this project is to create a free and open content encyclopedia of social change, social justice and environmental justice information.

http://www.theyrule.net/ - Topic map style visual presentations of interrelations of Companies Executives and stuff in the US mostly. Static mapping so they have an advisory about probably being out-of-date.

"Earth Reforesting System" - not sure if this is going to work, but, at least they started with mediawiki, so maybe they are just waiting for others to chip in, just like Consumerium did. Mostly in Japanese.

http://www.environmentaldirectory.net/ - lists over 13.000 organisations dealing with environmental issues in the US

http://www.aflcio.org/corporateamerica/paywatch/ - Annoy yourself by looking up how much US CEOs' get compensated

http://globalgreens.org - mailing lists automatically set up for any Green Party - or other groups obeying Global Greens Charter

http://slipperycat.com - attempt to nail down ontology for game business - shows what a simple industry looks like from low level code up to production. - a stub at the moment

Interesting organisations - Institutions and organisations that provide reference or possibly content
Interesting companies - Commercial links
Strange projects for amusing, off topic sites
