Transition Network Sharing Engine Project

Please create sub-pages like this: [[Sharing Engine/Page Title]]

Introduction

The Project Sharing Engine is a widget that Transition Initiative webmasters add to their own websites. We will call it Transition Anywhere. Users of Transition Anywhere's website can browse and read all Transition Project Profiles in the main Transition Network Projects Directory with the widget. Users this widget on Transition Anywhere's site can also add their own "Project Submissions" which are very brief summaries of their projects without coming to the Transition Network site. Transition Anywhere's webmaster then easily review and approve (or not) these "Project Submissions" at which point they become "Project Profiles" on Transition Network's Project Directory. Once these project submissions are 'Project Profiles', the user can add more information abou their project, enabling deeper and wider knowledge sharing and networking between projects around the world.
