| == History == | |
| Created in {{tag|Quebec}} in December 2002 under the name of ''Newlimits.org'', the project was initially in {{tag|French}}. It was using {{tag|TWiki}} wiki application for collaborative edition and in 2004, community decided to migrate to {{tag|MediaWiki}}.
| |
| | |
| The project got over 1000 articles December, 10 2006. In February 2007, {{tag|English}} and {{tag|Esperanto}} Projects were created. {{tag|Italian}}, {{tag|German}} and {{tag|Polish}} were created in February and March 2008 and the {{tag|Spanish}} in November 2008. Ekopedia has about 2500 articles (> 1 800 in French).
| |
| | |
| The Ekopedia Foundation was created in September 19, 2007.
| |
| | |
| == Project details ==
| |
| '''Ekopedia''' gives people solutions and practical knowledge in order to act in a more environmentally sound way. Ekopedia is a wiki-based website using MediaWiki. Ekopedia is licensed in Free Art License in every languages except for English which uses double licensing Free Art License + GFDL and Ekopedia will soon be moving to double licensing Free Art License + Creative Commons CC-BY-SA-3.0.
| |
| | |
| Ekopedia is developed mainly in French, Polish, and Italian. In 2008, French Project received 2,3 millions unique visitors and each day, an average of 11,000 people come to visit and participate in the project, which makes Ekopedia the most visited French website focused on {{tag|ecology}} and {{tag|sustainability}} issues.
| |
| | |
| Ekopedia articles are organized around 12 topics in order to meet the basics needs of people : {{tag|Birth}}, {{tag|Education}}, {{tag|Food}}, {{tag|Lodging}}, {{tag|Clothing}}, {{tag|Art and craft}}, {{tag|Thinking}}, {{tag|Living together}}, {{tag|Health and care}}, {{tag|Travel}}, {{tag|Leisure}} (previously Play) and {{tag|Communication}}. There are thus many articles on {{tag|green building}}, washable diapers, seasonal vegetables, {{tag|electric vehicles}} or even {{tag|tofu}} manufacturing.
| |
| | |
| Ekopedia is different to [[Wikipedia]] as certain types of content and collaboration are not suitable for Wikipedia. In contrast to Wikipedia, Ekopedia content requires a different approach in selecting and writing articles.
| |
| | |
| Since the end of 2008, Appropedia.org and Ekopedia.org projects are in active collaboration that could lead to a projects merge.
