| |
- |
| |
- | Dear All,
| |
- |
| |
- | Here is an idea.
| |
- |
| |
- | We all know the Wikipedia on-line encyclopedia, each of us may consult it on many topics, so that it becomes a reference
| |
- |
| |
- | Behind this scene are countless volunteers, as well as Internet tools supporting their cooperative effort.
| |
- |
| |
- | In this line, please find enclosed a Wiki forum project, termed as "World Fair Trade Organisation" or "OMC légitime".
| |
- |
| |
- | The idea emerged suddenly and the concept may be powerful.
| |
- |
| |
- | The project summary has been already translated in several languages. A workshop at the next gathering in Sarrebruck will allow people to know each other, join forces and gain speed.
| |
- |
| |
- | Three skills are required to launch the forum:
| |
- | : 1) Multilateral trade issues expertise, so as to feed and moderate the exchanges
| |
- | : 2) Wiki software experience and expertise, to implement and steadily develop
| |
- | : 3) The ability to communicate across languages
| |
- |
| |
- | Gilles Meuriot and Carol Bonvin started on 3) and immediately 30
| |
- | translators + (EN, DE, IT, PT, FR) expressed their interest and support.
| |
- |
| |
- | Among several thousands of Attac Europe members, no doubt there are many
| |
- | others capable of and willing to give birth, first light to the wiki
| |
- | forum. We are now looking for those persons who shall initiate the Wiki
| |
- | (free software, Docu Wiki for example), support its growth and protect it
| |
- | from attacks. This forum is meant to make people across the world bring
| |
- | forward and agree proposals through a voting procedure, a process that
| |
- | needs to be transparent and robust.
| |
- |
| |
- | Thank you for conveying and disseminating the information so that
| |
- | volunteers emerge and come together. All your suggestions are most
| |
- | wellcome.
