I'm Chriswaterguy from Appropedia.

Let's get some synergy happening!

(Copied from my comment on Talk:Main Page)

This site has great stuff, but it would be unfortunate if we couldn't work out a way to collaborate more closely. I've been working on Appropedia for some months now - I originally had my own wiki, but merged when we managed to agree on a broader scope, covering broader development issues and also sustainability.

Recently we merged with WikiGreen, with much enthusiasm on both sides, which has helped to lift our combined web presence. Recently I've discovered TipThePlanet, which is slightly different again, but very complementary.

Let's get some synergy happening. My opinion (and of course this is up for discussion) I think it would work best if we all got together on a single site. Among other things, we'd avoid duplication of effort, in each porting material (with permission) from people like Practical Action.

On top of that, we'd have a more active community, combining our strengths and getting a higher profile (and more Google hits, diggs, huggs, glog posts etc). What do you think? How can we best work together? Leave a note on my talk page.
