Lifeboat Foundation's InfoPreserver Skills Repository
Welcome to the skills and knowledge repository of the Lifeboat Foundation. This webspace is intended to provide a place for Lifeboat members to share information about necessary technical skills and how to preserve them for humanity's continued benefit. Every era and type of skill is welcome, from flint knapping stone tools to the latest innovative processes that might otherwise fade into the background noise of the Net.
We envision this resource to provide at least two basic benefits:
The first benefit is the collection of downloadable files, mostly in PDF format. This allows members to select and utilize the information locally without much additional software. Adobe PDF Reader is platform independent and pervasive.
The second benefit is that choosing MediaWiki allows members to maintain local wikis and synch selectively with the main InfoPreserver. This organic redundancy of storage is in the spirit of the Project. The larger the number of wikileggers in the group is the more robust the insurance this Project provides. Please restrict contributions to those resources that are in the public domain, you have the copyright to, or have embedded release of use from the copyright holder in the file.
