Open development wiki

We're building Appropedia as a platform for those interested in open development. A modest start page on the subject is at Open development, open aid, which points to the various related resources on Appropedia. See also open development wiki for me…

Spam control in this network

I notice that this Ning and the Km4dev wiki are fairly locked down... the admins here (and for any other Ning or wiki) might find these guides useful for avoiding spam without restricting good people:
