The 2007 Working Groups are now on-line. Those 5 groups had been agreed during the OIDP 6th conference, celebrated at the city of Recife (Brazil) in November, 2006 and reflect the main issues considered as relevant by the members of the OIDP:

To facilitate the participation on the groups it is available, on line, a new technology called wiki. A Wiki is a collaborative webpage that can be edited by different users that can create, modify or erase the pages content in an interactive, easy and fast way. Those facilities make wiki an efficient tool to collaborative intelectual production. When someone edits a wikipage, the changes can be visualized at the same moment on other computers.

Wiki in an online tool based on the concept of open and free knowledge and has been intensively used by social actors that wish to socialize the information and search for new tools of collaboration. Its structure allows the transparency on the construction of knowledge. Please visit the wikis and contribute with your ideas.
