Autonopedia: the concept

It is utterly vital now to make the all of the knowledge and know-how of living ecologically freely available to all and everyone, without prejudice.

This is the only way to ensure the general concepts catch on and develop everywhere!

There is no place for anyone to claim ownership of such knowledge just because they have written a book, or regard themselves as the only official body etc.

Not everyone can buy the book, take the course, buy the kit or whatever although those that do so will generally still do so, in-fact many more of them will do so because of Autonopedia.

Being more like a good DIY manual or self-help book than a website makes it accessable and understandable to as many people as possible

Computers are becoming ever cheaper, and more rugged and portable. Even wind-up computers are soon to be available to schoolchildren in many parts of the world. It is one form of technology that soon will be found in even the remotest corners of the planet.

Although the internet has harnessed this power to give us the vast evolution in global communication that we are now experiencing it has become a very complex machine and often finding the information you want can be a time consuming and often frustrating experience.

Having a site such as Autonopedia saves much of this time and energy to allow the creative element thrive, to stimulate and enhance the creative and learning process by supplying the necessary information effectively in one place.

By Making It Available As A Download:

By having Autonopedia as a portable application as well as a web site it becomes accessable everywhere on any computer that can accept a CD or a portable flash drive. And soon on any PDA/ phone coupled to a reasonable display or via a computer.

By following the KIS(S) [Keep It Simple (Stupid)] principle we can store a vast amount on one CD or a small pocket flash drive.

This can make it available when and where it is needed, which is generally when doing the job being described, not when hooked up to a phone line.

By having an update mechanism built in it can have auto or manual update via the internet.

This also makes it easier to compile, easier to index and easier to use.

International and Local

What you see on this site is the UK edition and soon Autonopedia will be based around an international edition which will be published along with local editions in many other countries.

The difference being the local pages which cover services, suppliers and information (and language) that are only relevent to that country.

The download will feature links back to the main site(s) from each section, so, for instance, if you were in the renewable energy section and wanted to connect with suppliers or sevices you will click on a link and arrive at arrive at the relevant links page on the on-line site.

This will be the main site or by using the free registration will lead to the local site if desired.

The main site will also have links to local pages in the relevant places as well

Each edition will offer community pages as well. These will focus on a town/city or county level and enable true local participation.
