Welcome

The Ecotopia Biketour Wiki (a.k.a. Ecotopedia) is a place to store information that is mostly relevant to the people involved in the preparation of the Biketour.

Any content that is relevant to participants or the general public, for example official announcements about the route, the Biketour values, information about what is needed to participate, should be on the website instead.

In some cases, the Wiki is also used for collaborative documents (for example to coordinate who is bringing what), but for this it is probably better to use EtherPad or EtherCalc, as those don't require registration.

Everyone can (currently) read any page in this Wiki, and everyone can edit any page, but needs to register for that.

Organizing Ecotopia Biketour

This is a self-organized tour!

No club, no NGO, no political party. Just some people following an idea - since 1990!

You are the biketour!

Some ideas of how you can help

There is lots to be done :) Here are smaller areas of the project, where u could be the right person to take responsibility:

coordinating a bit of the route (regional co-ordinators are wanted who speak the local language, can help find sleeping/cooking places, plan the route & find suitable maps for that region, have the overview of actions along the route. See more here: Checklist for national/local organisers)
take care of our outreach during the tour: flyer, poster, website content, prepare an action, prepare a theatre piece, prepare workshop to be given to the tour members or to the public
coordinate the outreach for participants and organizers
maintain the website
style/design leaflets, posters...
raise funds
take care about visas issues
help overall coordination
be the backup office when we are on tour
presswork - in your own country and international contacts
spread the word on the internet through using free software and uncommercial services as much as possible
Translate documents
Translate key texts to key-languages (e.g. German, and Eastern Europe in 2013) and other languages
The wiki pages need to be updated, cleaned out and ordered continuously!!!!!

- This is a self-organized tour!
-No club, no ngo, no political party. Just some people following an idea - since 1993! In 2008 we will cycle [[Bulgaria]] and [[Turkey]] - here are some ideas about the [[route]] and [[map]].<br>
-<br>The following is old text (with some fixing for now):<br>
-Does this appeal to you? and do you want to do your share of bt-organizing?<br>
-The best is you to come to the [[nextmeeting]], online or in real, to get an idea of the people and tasks, or browse through the [[meeting minutes]].
-If you live next to it or know great places to visit, talk to [[Yolanda]]. We also compiled some texts about [[what bt is]] and how to [[organise biketour]] and collected some nice [[ideas]] about improving BT.<br>
-Right now we are also working on the [[website]]. And where the hell is our [[stuff]]?<br>
-You can also help us online, even if you do not live next to the route. We do need help with moving pages from our old wikis and websites - have a look down to archive - to this wiki. Also the [[website]] needs doing: writing, designing and creating an ez-publish template.
-====Tasks====
-'''Please help''' with some of this:
-* Brainstorm of [[ideas]] about improving BT
-* Wiki organization
-** take care of moving old texts to here
-*** You can learn on [[How_to_edit_Wiki]] for contributing
-** update this same list, maybe at this page [[Org Tasks]] ?
