There are a few different things going on with the TCLocal.org website. First, we're using it to publish articles on subjects that largely come out of the TCRP Project Outline you mention. We decided last year that web publishing was likely a better approach for what we're doing, and so far we have two major articles up: one on tree crops and one on roads. We're planning about one a month, hoping to solicit comments that will lead to better articles. (TCRP became TC Local - they're the same project, same people, same goals.) The other piece of the site is what we used to call the "repository", which is collecting articles and information for later reference. We've had some trouble sorting out how best to make that work, and may split it off again into a completely different interface. > Anyhow, I wanted to know what the requirements were for listing articles on > the website. If you'd like to write main articles, let us know, and join us for a meeting. If you'd like to contribute to the repository, the answer is almost the same - we just have a bit of figuring out to do around how that part of the project is implemented. Thanks!
