Idea

I'm inviting collaboration to transform the GreenComp framework into an easily editable and shareable Open Knowledge version using accessible formats like Markdown.

GreenComp is a great resource, already available under an open license. However, its current PDF format isn't the most flexible for digital use. That's why I suggest we create a more accessible framework version.

I'm leaning towards using Markdown because of its simplicity and the fact that it works well across different platforms. We could, of course, consider other formats that are easy to use and share.

The aim is simple: to make a fully Open Knowledge version of GreenComp that anyone can freely use and edit.

If you're interested in helping out or have suggestions on formats, I'd love to hear from you.

I am interested and will be happy to help you out! this could also help align the GreenComp competences/areas with the very learning intentions of teachers' lessons, also adding up clickable links with hands-on ideas and materials previously used!

Dear Anna, you have captured the intention. Once we have easy access to GreenComp's text (to copy it, modify it, etc.), we can use it effectively in many contexts.

Yes, the idea is to provide a 'raw' text version (ideally in the form of a mardown file) so that anyone can easily use the content for various projects (chatbot, educational resources, etc.). Why not, we could put a version up on Github or something like that.

A quick praise of the markdown format (adapted from https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/)

- "Markdown is portable. Files containing Markdown-formatted text can be opened using virtually any application."
- "Markdown is platform independent. You can create Markdown-formatted text on any device running any operating system."
- "Markdown is future proof. Even if the application you’re using stops working at some point in the future, you’ll still be able to read your Markdown-formatted text using a text editing application."
