Other wikis not focussed on software patents
These are wikis that are maintained by "like-minded" groups, so they might contain info about software patents, or maybe useful info about campaigning, or even just ideas for how to maintain a public wiki.
- http://libreplanet.org - hosted by FSF
- http://wiki.fsfe.org - FSFE's Fellowship wiki
- http://euwiki.org - by Erik Josefsson, about his work in the European Parliament
- https://wiki.openrightsgroup.org/wiki/ - wiki of UK-based org Open Rights Group
- There was previously a wiki at werebuild.eu, but it's now owned by a domain squatter. I can't remember what info was there, maybe the old owner should be found and asked if those pages can be put elsewhere.
