Welcome to the Wiki.

The beauty behind Wikis--which means “fast” in Hawaiian--is that they are simple to use yet extremely effective at enabling and encouraging collaboration and the sharing of ideas.  I happen to believe that the internet, open-source technology and the proliferation of cell phones has made ours the century of collaborative innovation.  Nothing excites me more than the idea of partnering with other thinkers, tinkerers, teachers and technologists around the world on solving seemingly intractable problems such as poverty and pollution.  If you are of that mold--or if you simply want to have a look around--then you’ve come to the right place!

Here’s how this works. To take part in my Wiki (and I really hope you will!) and work with me towards the creation of a better world, you first need to register (which you can do from the dark green toolbar above).  It’s simple and fast, and once you register you can edit, add and even delete pages.  At the moment, the three main topics on my Wiki are related to my company, my masters thesis and the micro-credit program I’m trying to start in Providence, Rhode Island. But I hope to see members adding pages related to anything from solar water heaters to how to cook tasty meals to tips on bicycle safety!  Feel free to add articles, edit existing ones, and create new categories, resume writing services.

On your left you can see the navigation bar, from which you can look at the various categories and articles that have been created.  Below that you see a list of the active members on here.  Next you see a bar that enables you to search what is on the Wiki, and finally you can do a search for something in particular and, if your search comes up empty, you can then create a new page.

My goal is that we create a thriving community of people here discussing ways of solving real problems.  So, for instance, if you are designing solar water heaters in the slums of Cairo, Egypt, and can’t seem to come up with a way of bringing down the cost of your system, then go ahead and create an article or paper writing services explaining what you’ve done and what you’re challenges are, and hopefully someone will come along that has an answer.  Please join and invite your friends to join; we need all the talent, energy and ideas we can get to address poverty, pollution and other global, regional and local problems.  Wikis are a powerful tool and it is my sincere desire that we leverage them for good.

So have a look around, and let’s make the world a better place--together!
