Major Questions

The points to appear in every page are:

  • A summary of the issue or process to be discussed.
  • Brief history of the technologies or processes in question.
  • Applications of technologies that can be used to drive development.
  • Environmental considerations for the technologies or processes.
  • Safety and hygiene.
  • Diagrams to illustrate the main concepts


The goal of this project is to inform people and especially children in rural communities of technologies that could improve their way of living.

To achieve that goal translating the text into many languages will be an important. As the document evolves it will be probable that each translation will differ from the original English text, in the early stages of the project that would not matter. However, before a text in a language other than English should be deemed complete, it should coincide with the English text. To achieve this either the text in question or the English text could be updated. In case of dispute the English text would prevail as stated in the GNU license.
