This project contains suggestions and tools for improving articles related to international development. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians, and people new to editing Wikipedia. If you would like to help, either jump right in (see Jumping off points, below - but don't forget to come back and visit here), browse this page, or check the talk page.
If you're interested in this area, please consider joining, below.
The vision is to develop a comprehensive, detailed, and accessible guide to International development, covering technical, economic and social issues.
The ultimate goal is to have a powerful, practical and empowering resource which people everywhere can use to improve their own lives. Other people can also improve their understanding, whether they are involved in aid and development, or in politics, or in the broader public, thus raising awareness and understanding of the issues.
Through Wikipedia's inter-language work, this resource can be translated into other languages, greatly increasing the reach.
...and it will benefit you, too:
You might want to check this introduction (simple) or How to edit a page (more detailed). Or just click the edit tab at the top of the page you want to edit and figure it out as you go.
A few key things to remember:
There is no special format that has to be followed (apart from general Wikipedia guidelines - if you're not sure, then just do your best).
For articles about specific appropriate technologies, there should be information on:
This section is for organizing group projects. Some WikiProjects have a Collaboration of the week. You are free to suggest that here, although remember that some prefer to work at their own pace - everything on Wikipedia is a collaboration, anyway.
An alternative is to "adopt" an article, meaning that you personally focus on improving a particular article. Of course, others can still edit it, too.
See the members section, below.
An infobox on Wikipedia is a consistently-formatted table which is present in articles with a common subject. See Wikipedia:List of infoboxes. There are currently no infoboxes on International development.

To be created, or particularly needing work (please add below):
Please feel free to list your new International development-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Listing the articles often gets other editors to help improve and expand a new article.
Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Wikipedia page. DYN has a 72 hr. time limit from the creation of the article.
Translation can be done on any article, but it's probably most efficient to do it when articles have reached a certain level of quality and stability (to save constant updates of the translation).
The English Wikipedia article should be shown as the source for the article in the target language (and perhaps a mention that the sources for that are in English - at least then people know where the information is from, and have an idea of what's involved in tracking down the sources - and if they do have some understanding of English, knowing where to find the sources makes it much easier than having to do all the research themselves). If there are equivalent links in the target language, all the better.

I'm keen to meet people with similar interests, in Meetups, one-on-one, or visiting projects. Currently in Central America (San Salvador, and in coming weeks in Nicaragua, Guatemala and then Mexico. Then California for a few weeks, and then returning to Taiwan, where I'll be staying for some months, and probably using as a base.
I'm a water & sanitation engineer with a strong interest in appropriate technology and sustainable solutions (and am co-founder of Appropedia) and would be glad to help when I'm able. -- Chriswaterguy updated 19:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
