Mission
The mission of this Knowledgebase is to:
- Define clearly what is a Resource-Based Economy for the various groups that support the idea
- Document what are the similarities and differences between the various groups supporting an RBE
- Provide a common space for recording relevant non-transient information about each group, such as structure, mission, links, codes of conduct, contact details, etc
- Provide a Wikipedia-like space for material that is very relevant for an RBE but which is not adequate material for Wikipedia for not being academic, based on proposals and projects instead of facts, or not being popular or significative enough for the general public.
For information about how to become a contributor to this knowledgebase please refer to TZMWiki:About.
About this Knowledgebase
The founder of this knowledgebase, Ziggy, states that his motivation for starting this project come from his view that the information available about a Resource-Based Economy was:
- fragmented
- plagued with opinions about the current system and how a society should be
- substantially explained through metaphorical speech
- inconsistent and even contradictory when explained by different people
- mostly lacking in referencing and academic quality
- mixed with information of dubious origin or accuracy
- polluted with binary thinking, unsubstantiated assumptions, and fallacies
- generally biased and mostly representative of specific situated knowledges
This knowledge-base is inspired by the success of the Wikipedia in achieving consensus in a great number of concepts through crowdsourcing. This wiki's main objectives are increasing accuracy and consensus around definitions, application, and transition methods, applicable to a Resource-Based Economy.
This website is not concerned with the reasons for transitioning towards a Resource-Based Economy, and assumes that users of this wiki are already convinced of this necessity. For more information about the need to transition to a Resource-Based Economy, please refer to The Zeitgeist Movement or The Venus Project.
For more information about technical details about this knowledge base, please visit TZMWiki:About.

FAQ
Why not use Wikipedia for this?
The Wikipedia is concerned with what's factual, requiring very stringent referencing system in an academic style. Whilst this is a great way to ensure the maximum quality for a crowdsourced encyclopaedia, it becomes unsuitable for projects like this one. Unlike Wikipedia, this knowledge-base is concerned with the development of a set of ideas, evaluating proposals, and discussing approaches for action. For more information see what Wikipedia is not, especially regarding speculative content.
Any articles in this knowledgebase which achieve a degree of quality appropriate for Wikipedia (e.g. factual, objective, neutral, well-referenced) could, and probably should, be relocated into the Wikipedia. Once this knowledgebase reaches a sizeable number of great quality articles, it might be possible to join the MediaWiki Interwiki network.
This website was conceived, and initially registered, as part of a chapter project within The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM). Its original purpose was to document information about TZM, specifically, and Resource-Based Economy matters in general. However, that original intention has been superseded by the one stated in the Mission. It is possible that the website will change its name to RBEWiki in the future.
This website honours Jacque Fresco in that he devoted half of his life to develop and promote his idea of a Resource-Based Economy. However this wiki does not devote to The Venus Project's specific idea of a RBE, or its transition style for implementing a worldwide RBE. TVP activists are most welcomed to participate of this knowledgebase, e.g. by helping define and document aspects of a RBE, or to use it for documenting some of their own information.
Both this knowledgebase and The RBE10K Project were created by the same activist, Ziggy. Also, the RBE10K project will rely heavily on this wiki from the very beginning, to document most of the progress it will make between 2013 and 2014, and possibly after implementing the city as well.
Who funds this website?
It only costs $10 per month to run, plus around $10 per year for the domain. The cost is currently covered by Ziggy.
