[edit] WikiProject Ecovillages

The Ecovillage WikiProject will embed itself at Wikipedia soon as a Wikipedia:WikiProject. It will have two parent projects:

1. Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions
2. Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecology

Synchronizing Ecovillage articles here and Ecovillage articles there will allow contextual linkage avoiding redundant content. The relationship:

1. Ecovillage Wiki:Project
2. Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecovillages

...is equated to that of the hosts:

1. Wikia, Inc
2. Wikimedia Foundation

This is part of a developing metaproject to build relevance between wikicities and wikipedia content.

[edit] Ecovillage topics

The following topics are identified as being relevant to the Ecovillage Wiki:

[edit] Wikipedia

• Ecology
• Ecovillage
• Sustainability
• List of ecovillages
• List of ecology topics
• WikiProject Ecology
• WikiProject Energy development

Some members of this project are also members of WikiProject Ecology at Wikipedia. They help to create, edit and maintain a set of articles including a portal and a main article about Ecology. They do this work on a volunteer basis under the GNU Free Documentation License.
