Possible sources/gateways 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 Wikipedia3)

  • P2Pmap - insightful peer-to-peer mapping systems
  • 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.
