Help us build HOWTO, the online library to know how to
Information, education, formation and know-how are vital elements for empowerment: Knowledge does increase individual freedom. Internet is a powerfull media, but very few sites are oriented toward practical know-how. When they are, they are quite inaccessible in the jungle of institutions and interfaces.
HOWTO is a project for the diffusion of practical knowledge and of simple technologies: easily explainable and usable by individuals or small communities.
HOWTO will help reinforce the collaboration and knowledge transfer between organizations and individuals accross borders. HOWTO encourages small scale sustainable development through stimulating the use or the discovery of local ressources, and facilitating the dissemination of appropriate technology.
