Career
Akvopedia
Windsor first joined Akvopedia on 29 May 2019. She has amassed over 20 edits to the online encyclopedia. She has contributed to over 3 existing articles, but hasn't yet created any new articles at the moment, but will do at some point soon. 1
She also like to think that she has learned a great deal, but really, her learning has made her realise that she knows very little, and that there is always much more to learn. As she keeps learning, she likes to share what she does know, which is why she likes Akvopedia. Hopefully, the occasional edits she adds here and there are of help to the wider community.
Akvopedia is a Web-based, free content, water and sanitation knowledge resource. The name Akvopedia is a combination of the words akvo (meaning water in the language Esperanto) and encyclopedia. Akvopedia article pages seek to provide a solid introduction to water and sanitation technologies, financing, and processes needed for project implementation and maintenance.
Akvopedia is written collaboratively by volunteers and specialists, mainly from the water and sanitation sector, since the creation of Akvopedia back in the summer of 2007.
However, visitors do not need specialized qualifications to contribute, since their primary role is to write articles that cover existing knowledge (which includes local, in-the-field knowledge); this means that people of all ages and cultural and social backgrounds can write Akvopedia articles.
Admins have upgraded Akvopedia with the Wikipedia style Visual Editor upload/editing tool to enable a simplified platform, so that zero programming knowledge is needed to create/edit article on Akvopedia. To learn how to use the Visual editor, see the Wikipedia tutorials on how to use it. But as always, if it is more convenient for you they can also create and upload your pages for you! Akvopedia uses the same basic layout as Wikipedia. The wiki uses Vector. Akvopedia and Akvo are trademarks of the Akvo Foundation (Stichting Akvo).
Akvopedia started as an open collaborative effort of Akvo 2, initiated by Netherlands Water Partnership 3, IRC 4, UNESCO-IHE 5, GreenOcean and The Movement Design Bureau. Prototype funding has been provided by Partners voor Water. Much of the initial content of in this wiki comes from the books Smart Sanitation Solutions and Smart Water Solutions produced in collaboration with Netherlands Water Partnership, WASTE, PRACTICA, IRC, SIMAVI and Partners voor Water.
