Sounds like things are moving in<br class="">a really good direction with that and I'm so glad.<br class=""><br class="">We're in the very beginning stages of a <a href="http://huridocs.org" class="">huridocs.org</a> website redesign.<br class="">We still need to write up user stories, but we already know that we want<br class="">to prioritise meeting the needs of human rights defenders (resources,<br class="">solutions, advice, tools, etc) ahead of explaining our organisation (our<br class="">history, our team, our funders, our policies, etc).<br class=""><br class="">I have this vision, much like the idea behind RDF, to build up a<br class="">community-created or community-sourced knowledge base and really put<br class="">that at the center of this website...but alas, I'm afraid it might take<br class="">a long time to build up those resources. So I'm here wondering what a<br class="">good middle-ground could be so that we can still work on a new website<br class="">as we add to this collection of resources. It would be great to<br class="">redesign/update and "modularize" many of our existing resources (like<br class="">our 230-page manual on the events standard formats methodology for human<br class="">rights documentation). This could be the basis of this collection.<br class=""><br class="">But what I'm struggling with right now is finding any examples of this<br class="">idea. Do you know of any NGO website that do a good job of providing<br class="">valuable resources front and center?<br class=""><br class="">It's interesting that when I search for "knowledge base" I find examples<br class="">of how it's being used for call centers, for internal staff, and for<br class="">tech products (like <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/help" class="">https://www.dropbox.com/help</a>). I'm surprised the<br class="">idea hasn't caught on yet for nonprofit orgs.<br class=""><br class="">I know this is a really specific question so I apologize if it's too<br class="">narrow.
