What do they represent? Most of the time, we are missing a sense of scale to evaluate the true significance of such numbers.</p> <p>This group is about trying to make a sense of those numbers. It is also a way to put into perspective what the article we are reading is actually saying.</p> Sat, 02 Dec 2006 03:01:25 +0100 admin 180 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/node/100 <p>Change not only needs to take place out there, in our communities, but most importantly within our own selves.</p> <p>Maintaining a healthy relationship with the Divine, through prayer, is a good way to grow within.</p> <p>Prayer is important in most spiritual traditions. This group aims to investigate the role of prayer in our lives. </p> <p>Also, there is a "Prayer for the week" newsletter you can subscribe to (coming soon).</p> Fri, 12 May 2006 15:56:55 +0200 Augustin 100 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/publishing_license <p>This group is about drafting a license to use within the book publishing industry and for the readers.</p> <p>The license is permissive in the same way as the GPL (for software) and the Creative Commons (for online material) are. </p> <p>At the same time, the license guarantees the protection of the environment by making sure that the author's income is not bound to be proportional to the negative impact the published books have on the environment. </p> <p><a href="http://www.wechange.org/publishing_license">read more</a></p> Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:20:51 +0100 Augustin 189 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/science_spirituality <p>Exploration of the frontier between mainstream science and religious mysticism.</p> Sat, 02 Dec 2006 02:51:13 +0100 admin 178 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/simple_english <p>In this group, there are articles in simple English: they are easy to understand.</p> <p>You can write a simple article.<br /> Your article can be about peace, about nature, about environment protection, about helping other people...</p> <p>Your article must be very simple.<br /> Many people are learning English. They don't understand difficult words. They don't understand long sentences. But they want to learn English. They want to help the world, too.</p> <p>You can use one difficult word in your article. Use this word a lot. The reader can check the word in the dictionary. The word is used often: the reader will learn this difficult word.</p> <p><a href="http://www.wechange.org/simple_english">read more</a></p> Wed, 31 May 2006 04:50:04 +0200 Augustin 126 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/taiwan <p>News in English (and hopefully soon in Chinese, too, if Taiwanese care to help themselves...) about Taiwan: environment, democracy, Human Rights, Children's rights, etc.</p> <p>Be informed. </p> <p>Know what to do.</p> <p>Just join us and help!</p> Wed, 17 May 2006 11:43:26 +0200 Augustin 106 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/web_participation <p>More and more people spend more and more time in cyberspace. </p> <p>The aim of this group is to promote a more communal, friendly, healthier way of living and communicating while online. </p> <p>See the <a href="http://www.wechange.org/web_participation/handbook">Web participation handbook<a/><br />.<br />. </p> Sun, 02 Jul 2006 08:01:15 +0200 Augustin 133 at http://www.wechange.org http://www.wechange.org/wechange_website <p>Welcome.<br /> If you wish to participate in the development of this site, you can join this project.</p> Sun, 03 Sep 2006 04:46:45 +0200 admin 166 at http://www.wechange.org
