My name is Chris Watkins, but that's a surprisingly common name, so I usually go by the username Singkong2005. I spend a lot of time contributing to wikis, mainly at Wikipedia and [Appropedia.

Synergy!

I would like to see greater synergy, through people working on the wikis that best suit them. I would also like to see wikis to merge where that's appropriate. I think development and sustainability issues would be best dealt with on a single wiki.

Areas of interest

I am interested in:

  • International development, including especially
    • Appropriate technology
    • Clean water and sanitation
    • Community participation in development
    • Gender issues
  • Sustainability issues, especially
    • Climate change
    • Efficiency in the use of resources such as energy and water
    • Effective reuse of waste (e.g. through biogas digesters)
  • Permaculture and urban agriculture
  • Urban planning for sustainability, community and quality of life
  • Languages
  • Education

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