I would also like to see wikis to merge where that's appropriate, to get a larger and more diverse community of editors in one place working on topics of common interest. I think [[:Category:International development|international development]] and [[:Category:sustainability|sustainability]] issues would be best dealt with on a single wiki - see this discussion: [[User:Singkong2005/Merging sustainability and development wikis|'''Merging sustainability and development wikis''']].
Now, to be more active in pursuing these aims I have started a project: see [[The Wiki Synergy Project]] for more.
 
Localized wikis (e.g. a "Sustainability in Brownsville" kind of topic) would be best as part of a larger wiki rather than separate, in my opinion, and I'd like to help make that an attractive and simple option for local groups.

My name is Chris Watkins, but that's a surprisingly common name, so I almost always go by the username Chriswaterguy. (I used to call myself Singkong2005, but Chriswaterguy is more descriptive). I like to be able to Google for my username – not for vanity, but to keep track of my conversations and contributions, and this wouldn't work if I used my real name.

I spend a lot of time contributing to wikis, mainly at English Wikipedia[2] and Appropedia,[3] the wiki for appropriate technology, sustainability and international development.

The Wiki Synergy Project[edit]

I would like to see greater synergy, through people working on the wikis that best suit them – and WikiIndex is a fantastic tool for that. I have edited Appropedia's WikiNode so it starts with links to the relevant categories on WikiIndex.

Now, to be more active in pursuing these aims I have started a project: see The Wiki Synergy Project for more.

Areas of interest[edit]

I am interested in:

My areas of expertise are those closer to the top, particularly appropriate technology, water and sanitation.
