Add Eco-Libre

Please consider adding Eco-Libre to your list, in the "Knowledge Platforms" section

• https://eco-libre.org

Eco-Libre’s mission is to research, develop, document, teach, build, and distribute open-source technology that sustainably enfranchises communities’ human rights.

You can read more about Eco-Libre on our Appropedia page here:

Currently the only repo that's being used by third parties is our Life-Line project. You can see photos of their builds on the Eco-Libre Life-Line documentation's "praxis" page here:

Thanks @maltfield for your contribution. We try to always list git repositories here because this enables us to process the data of projects with our analytics. It would be very pleased to list projects like: https://github.com/Eco-Libre/life-line

In general, we have a blind spot on our website when it comes to open hardware and firmware. Would you be interested in supporting us in this area? We could create a separate section for such projects. What do you think?

[maltfield]

Thanks :) Life-Line is (currently) our most developed project, but I think Treasure-Tower would be interesting (for humanure) -- once we have a prototype. And we plan to add some tech for solar thermal in the future, too.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to separate projects based on the title "hardware" -- because that becomes pretty blurry sometimes.

@maltfield Agree. But we still would need to add some more subsections like "smart meter" or "inverter". Lots of this fields are so big that we should consider new subsections. the current subsections are very much focused on energy/earth/biodiversity modelling and earth observation.

Sorry, if I'm honest with myself, then I have to say that I can't help you with this. I'm already managing too many projects mostly on my own, and I'm barely able to keep up with that as-is :(

I don't know if you have many projects that meet this, but maybe reasonable categories would be "clean water" -- in which Life-Line would go and (on the other end of that pipe) "sanitation" -- in which Treasure-Tower would go
