Congratulations! The success of Diplopedia could be an interesting case-study in diplomatic professional culture. What motivates a diplomat to share information (exclusive access to information is very often the key asset for career progression in diplomatic services). Is information sharing or information control more effective for a successful diplomatic career today? These and other questions of relevance for acceptance of e-tools by diplomats are discussed at edip.diplomacy.edu. It will be also interesting for wider international community to learn more about Diplopedia, DipNote and other e-diplomacy initiatives at State.

In addition, imagine if this public domain archive post is/was so interesting for civilians like me, how much more this project can be a diplomatic tool for pros.

What I mean is that sharing ideas, experiences and knowledge is the only way to move the craft.
As Donald in VA says: “knowledge is learned”.
Share it!

Thanks very much for your compliments, John! Like any collaborative software, Diplopedia has relied on participation to achieve the results it has. We encourage members of the public to participate in the dialogue at http://www.state.gov/open to suggest ideas on how State can improve the quality of information available to you!

Really transformational and extremely smart tool.
Although, I don’t have access as a simple civilian (this is logical), I can understand how much powerful and useful it is.
I think it’s very easy to understand my point. Imagine yourself being a young SD officer moving from (let’s say) Cape Verde to (let’s say) Colombia. How can you know the new “situation”? Extremely different places. Of course, I imagine, there are briefs etc., but having this tool available, “transfer” is even more "intranet downloadable".
I did not know about this project!
Great work!!!
