Below is a short overview of the project.

Ekopedia and Appropedia are adopting a deep and adaptable partnership. Ekopedia and Appropedia share the vision of a positive collaboration which could lead to a projects merge. Both projects will walk, step by step in the direction of the merge.

Here is our projects collaboration roadmap proposal:

1. Step 1: Compatible licensing
   1. We define a compatible licensing definition (like CC-BY-SA-3.0 + FAL).
2. Step 2: content sharing and translation
   1. French pages on Appropedia are ported to Ekopedia.
   2. English pages on Ekopedia are ported to Appropedia.
   3. French pages on Ekopedia are translated to English pages at Appropedia
   4. English pages on Appropedia are translated to French pages at Ekopedia
3. Step 3: links creation & taxonomy
   1. Interlanguage links are established between the wikis, in both directions.
   2. en.ekopedia.org is forwarded to Appropedia
   3. fr.appropedia.org is forwarded to Ekopedia
   4. we choose what do to with other languages
4. Step 4: projects merge
   1. develop similar taxonomy.
   2. Project name choice.
   3. Legal issues (do we keep both organizations...)

We (contributors & founder of Appropedia and Ekopedia) agree that this is our common vision and will work all together in getting this vision done with this adaptable roadmap.

[edit] Signatures

I believe we have agreement by Jean-Luc, Lonny, Curt, and myself, and haven't heard objection from anyone. Do we consider it "signed" when we have a majority of each board having signed? In any case, let's make sure we get a response from all board members.--Chriswaterguy 16:00, 24 March 2009 (UTC) Chris considère qu'un accord a été atteint par Jean-Luc, Lonny, Curt et lui-même, et qu'aucune objection n'a été exprimée par qui que ce soit. Pouvons-nous considérer le contrat "signé" quand la majorité de chacun des commités a signé? Dans tous les cas, soyons sur d'avoir une réaction de chaque membres du comité.

[edit] Notes

1. ↑ As this is an "in principle" MOU, and this has been extensively discussed via email, physical signatures don't seem necessary. Confirmation of the identity of the signatories can be made by viewing the history page.
2. ↑ Comme il s'agit, en principe, d'un protocole d'entente, et qu'il a été largement discutée par courrier électronique, les signatures physiques ne semblent pas nécessaires. Une confirmation de l'identité des signataires peut être affichée par le page d'histoire.
