F.A.Q.

Is the Free State Projects doing any projects in the Free State now?

No, we are still embryonic so we are pulling ourselves together and finding funding as well as letting all our volunteers flow towards the areas that they would like to assist in.

So its all a work in progress. We are currently self assembling our general organisational structure, the online collaboration system, a better mailing list, funding, university support, several spin off co-operative run for-profit projects, and other general things. This list is expected to grow and I suppose will serve as the to-do list that something to volunteer on can be chosen from. We are not yet active in the rural areas we want to be in. Should be by mid 2009.

What are the areas that Free State Projects needs volunteer assistance in?

Plenty! Currently we need people to help with establishing Free State Projects as a co-operative trust.

Creating frameworks for our health, education, art, culture, tourism, agricultural (permaculture), complementary currency and building projects.

We need to harness worthy foundations like lutw.com and laptop.org so South Africans can start benefitting!

How many FSP volunteers are there?

Around 350, core team is 5.
Please enquire about helping out! :)

How can I get involved or some more info?

How does the wiki part of the website work?

A wiki (www.freestateprojects.org/wiki) is just an editable text based webpage. You click the edit button on any page and you can modify it to add or clarify a point, ask a question or just expand on what was written. Also see the links in the "Wiki system help and reference guides" which is available on each wiki page.
