Comment on: Nonprofit Technology Taxonomy Creation (3)
Feedback score: 0 +|-

OK, so go to http://del.icio.us/tag/nptech to see the taxonomy. We should suggest that people use the tag: nptech whenever they add relevant entries to delicious. To watch the taxonmy grow, subscribe to this site http://del.icio.us/tag/nptech as a delicious user.

What should get tagged as nptech? here's my suggestion: we use the same standards for inclusion as TechFinder. Here these would be suggested, unenforceable guidelines.

  1. Sites must be directly relevant to nonprofits' information technology needs.
  2. Sites must be technology-related.
  3. Language used listings must be appropriate.

in more detail, snipped/paraphrased from http://techsoup.org/techfinder/index.cfm?p=about_standards :

1. Services must be directly relevant to nonprofits' information technology needs. Typically, this means that your services are either specifically designed for nonprofits, or discounted for nonprofits.

2. Services must be technology-related. NPTech is specifically designed to help nonprofits find support with their information and communication technology needs. Please ensure that your services meet this criteria.

3. Language used in NPTech listings must be appropriate. Do not use overly promotional language.
