Planipedia Supporters
The purpose of a community-based site like Planipedia is to provide usable, valuable information to financial planners and potentially consumers worldwide. Although we are happy for contributors to indicate that they were the "source" of information, they must understand that the information can be used by anyone without acknowledging the source. The content must be unrestricted by copyright. Planipedia is not-for-profit and an open and collaborative communnity.
The most important type of sponsor for this site will be significant knowledge and information contributors. At this stage financial contributions are not required although this may change in the future. If for any reason it did change no supporter of Planipedia has any financial obligation in any way. We may use the terms Sponsor and Supporter interchangably as some people feel the term Sponsor usually requires money which is not the case in Planipedia.
Although anyone is free to contribute content at any time, we are hoping to have significant contributions of content by associations, academics and specialist firms in the financial planning domain early on to increase the value of the resource on an accelerated basis.
Planipedia was launched officially at the FPA Conference in Anaheim, CA. on October 10, 2009. In followup to the launch, we are asking all Planipedia Supporters to post a copy of the Supporter Logo on their website, linking to Planipedia's main page at http://www.planipedia.org
