It is hosted at Demesta, a small part-time computer company I run just for the fun of it. Nevertheless, Ecofoot is completely free to use for anyone interested. Ecofoot has a number of objectives: 1) to increase awareness of the EF-concept, and 2) to make it possible to use EF-analysis as an integral part in education at any level. > > So what about those Datasheets? > =============================== > It is easy to compose your own custom data sheets for Ecofoot. I have written a short manual on how to write data sheets - just send a blank email to the following adress and the manual will be automatically sent to you: > efsheetinfo@demesta.com > > After writing a data sheet, just email it back to me and I will put it out on the Ecofoot site. The data sheet is after that available to your students/users through the Ecofoot site. Also, if you want to include instructions and/or comments for the data sheet application, just send me these instructions and I will add them to the DataSheetComment-section. The would-be users of your data sheet can then consult these instructions if any problems should arise while running your data sheet(s). > > There are currently no general/standard data sheets available at the time, but as soon as I get the latest household values from Mathis Wackernagel, I will put them out on the Ecofoot site. Also, if anyone already has any national data and would like to write a data sheet, you are more than welcome! > To Unsubscribe: Email majordomo@ces.ncsu.edu with the command "unsubscribe sanet-mg".
