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


    possible sources of Research Wiki input

    GFDL corpus

    • Recyclopedia is creating a free and open content encyclopedia of social change, social justice and environmental justice information.
    • Disinfopedia is 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 MediaWiki, under GFDL)
    • 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
    • Cookbook - One of the wikibooks that is of particular interest is the cookbook. Includes information on vegan and vegetarian food as well as other moral purchasing.

    not GFDL

    • "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.

    Misc.

    • 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
    • http://www.2action.com/main.asp - a commercial vendor of worn device software for meeting and sales support - what does their UI look like? What words mean what? We should always study carefully this kind of example of a decision support system
