Although the focus is mainly technical so far, it is intended that Appropedia will develop more material on poverty and prevention of hunger, as well as green living.

It is currently (2012) the most active Green Wiki, the most active Appropriate Technology wiki, and the only active Permaculture Wiki.

Appropedia allows for networking, discussion, analysis and collaboration and is replete with:

Now with Semantic MediaWiki and a custom skin!
