What is KForge Demo
KForge Demo is a digital open knowledge community based around this site. It is built on the KForge system and aims to provide you with the facilities and tools to create everything from a new textbook to maps. The only requirement to host a project on this site is that it be open. Tools provided to assist you in your project include:
- Wikis, Message forums and mailing lists to help you collaborate.
- Content management systems and other publication mechanisms.
- Storage facilities and webspace including versioning systems and databases.
- A project framework with mechanisms to control access and structure work.
Background
The KForge Demo project was initiated by the Open Knowledge Foundation and enjoys its continuing support. Thus when deciding to place work on KForge Demo you can be certain it will have a stable and permanent home. At the same time the KForge system is maintained by the Appropriate Software Foundation as open source software to which anyone is allowed to contribute and everyone is welcome to use.
