Foodista is a new online destination for those interested in all things culinary-related. The site is divided into four sections - recipes, foods, tools and techniques - and is based around the idea that community knowledge and sharing can result in a better resource than one built by a restricted and closed group. As such, the folks behind Foodista have “developed a system to let everyone edit content to make it better rather than have multiple versions of the same recipe.” At its core, this system is based around a site-wide CC BY license.

Applejux from netaudio.es has put some Spanish netlabels on Google maps: if you have a netlabel, you can always contribute, and put yourself on the map.

The people from archive.org have made a compilation of "How to ..." movies. "How to Make a Political T-Shirt" and "How to Brew Beer" are my favorites.

cheers!
