    Possible sources of Content

    • 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://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 Wikipedia Phase III)

    Technology

    m:Geospatial reference
    m:spacetime_DTD
    m:ecoregion_DTD

    Important: Above efforts, if completed, would greatly advance the development of Cium and create greater w:synergy and information interusability between Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Consumerium and other future Wiki/GFDL resources


    • JXTA - Java P2P service platform: secure bandwidth, processing power, storage and backup sharing
    • GNU Barcode program Generates postscript files of UPC, EAN, ISBN, CODE39 and other encoding standards
    • http://www.free-project.org/ The GNU.Free e-democracy software development has been discontinued, but the software is still available. It's in Java and could be useful in governing campaigns. See also voting system options described in wikipedia (very comprehensive, with examples, tradeoffs of different systems).

    Discussion/Opinions

    • http://act.greenpeace.org - Greenpeace cyber-activist community weblog, has hundreds of thousands of users, searches on almost any topic will yield something (Google searches will only show official documents). Active discussion of features for activist sites, how to integrate email chat and web, whether to use wikis or annotation, etc.. Active discussion of many different projects, e.g. a DNS reserving the names of all ecoregions. (warning: contains violent minds, who clearly haven't heard of w:RDF)
    • http://amnesty.org - Amnesty International site, almost as good, but less focused on email campaigns

    Misc.
