CLIP: CLimate Info Point
2025 Gliwice, Poland
Call for help
We (TePeWu Association) are signing an agreement with city of Gliwice, to set up a "climate infoshop" there (codename SPInKa / CLIP).
We plan to start with an automated infokiosk, placed in public space for everyone to use.
Tech-wise it will be an old laptop with one or two displays (one touchscreen), running a browser in kiosk mode, serving local (federated) instance of dokuwiki (tentatively selected). It will be a prototype for the whole network, all free and open licences ofc.
Now, we are looking for someone to help us create a front/template for such a kiosk, plus somoeone to coordinate the "user experience" design.
If you are such person, please let us know. If you know one, let them know.
Brief summary of the project.

Folks, we (TePeWu) are looking for some solidarity/volunteer help in the area of UX/UI design and implementation. Topic: self-service climate catastrophy infokiosk, to be put in public spaces.
The platform (tentatively) is DokuWiki.
Now, I have the call for help all nicely wtitten-up in English, and I need some recommendations where to put it. Did not find a fitting community here. Also, I know no website where such calls could be matched with some people able and willing to help. Please advise.
