	Currently there's nothing there, but we need to add Sphinx to the repo above, and figure out some way to have it dynamically "included" in all of our other Sphinx projects repos. That would include something like a "What is Eco-Libre?" intro, "Eco-Libre org FAQ", and "Similar Projects". I'm thinking "Similar Projects" would be next to "Attribution", like [https://docs.buskill.in/buskill-app/en/stable/attribution.html#similar-projects here], except we'd want a subsection for each "similar project", so we have the space to write notable things about them.

New page

Yakunina is a school and permaculture center in Ecuador, which might be working on appropriate technology.

== Pros ==

# '''Local''' - They're also in Ecuador

== Cons ==

* '''Poor Documentation''' - Couldn't easily find build instructions for their tech
* '''Poor Licensing''' - I could not find any licensing information of their designs.

== TODO ==

# Visit them. Get a list of all the tech they build, and see if they'd be open to licensing any of it openly.

	== Pros ==		== Pros ==

	# '''~~Mature~~''' - ~~Gaviotas was founded~~ in ~~1971~~		# '''Local''' - They're also in Ecuador
	~~# '''Prolific''' - Gaviotas has built a ''lot'' of appropriate technology, and worked with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)~~

	== Cons ==		== Cons ==

	* '''Poor Documentation''' - Only a couple projects are listed on their website (https://centrolasgaviotas.org/). Sometimes this is just a photo. BOMs are missing. Technical details are missing. Build instructions are frequently missing. Maintenance guides are frequently missing. Notable exception: [https://centrolasgaviotas.org/molino-de-viento-tropical wind mill], [https://centrolasgaviotas.org/bomba-de-camisa-gaviotas hand pump], [https://centrolasgaviotas.org/bomba-de-balanc%C3%ADn-gaviota see-saw pump], [https://centrolasgaviotas.org/ariete-hidr%C3%A1ulico-gaviota hydraulic ram])		* '''Poor Documentation''' - Couldn't easily find build instructions for their tech
	* '''Poor Communication''' - Unable to contact them in 2025 using official website. I did get a response from the contact on the unofficial website (http://www.friendsofgaviotas.org/), but I got a response from someone (Katherine Holt) who said she hasn't ~~been involved with Gaviotas in over 15 years..~~		* '''Poor Licensing''' - I could not find any licensing information of their designs.
	* '''Poor Licensing''' - I could not find any licensing information of their designs~~. ''If'' we could contact them, they ''might'' give permission to copyleft~~.

	== TODO ==		== TODO ==

	# ~~Contact Gaviotas~~. ~~Ask under what license their~~ tech ~~is currently released~~, if ~~we can license it under CC BY-SA, and publish~~ it ~~on our website~~		# Visit them. Get a list of all the tech they build, and see if they'd be open to licensing any of it openly.
	# Contact UNDP. Ask if we can license their [https://archive.org/details/technologias_en_la_erradicacion_de_la_pobreza/ TECNOLOGIAS EN LA ERRADICACION DE LA POBREZA (1996)] under CC BY-SA. Then we can prioritize, build, and document the tech listed.
