Qui il loro articolo https://www.apc.org/en/pubs/manuals-communities-practice-series-support-community-networks
- Pedagogical manual for social exchanges: This manual is an invitation to motivate and strengthen local and circular economies based on the recognition of community processes, resources and needs. Available in English and Spanish.
- How to use Pirania: Lessons from real use in community networks: This manual was produced based on the real-life experience of installing the Pirania Captive Portal in a community network in Vale do Ribeira, in the southern region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Available in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
- Here comes the sun: An introductory framework to understand the basics of electricity and photovoltaic systems for community networks: Too often, supposed connectivity “solutions” take for granted a general supply of power anywhere on our planet. But 13% of the world’s population lacks access to electricity and a much higher percentage experiences unstable or deficient service, especially in rural areas. This manual focuses on sharing knowledge on using sunlight to generate electricity as a key step to produce a more democratic supply and more inclusive infrastructure. Available in English, French and Spanish.
- Bamboo for community networks: A plantation manual for green infrastructure: The purpose of this manual is to support communities and entrepreneurs to overcome biological and technical constraints through easy-to-adopt management practices in planning and planting bamboo. This material can be an affordable alternative for community networks infrastructure. Available in English.
- Community networks meet community currencies: This manual is about building bottom-up infrastructure, specifically an intervention to bootstrap a community inclusion currency (voucher) and a local community network and a local content and services platform. Available in English.
