[Mypads](https://mypads.framapad.org/) is a plugin that lets you manage your collaborative documents within [Framapad](@:link.pad). It lets you create folders, place documents (‘pads’) in them, share these folders with others, or make them private. Today we're announcing a number of improvements to this plugin: improved navigation, global search in folders and pad names, etc. This could well be just the first phase of improvements to Mypads, and even Framapad. But of course this will depend on your support.
Framasoft being an association of general interest, a donation of 100€ in France will cost you 34€ after tax exemption. We have set up a unique site to support us, consult our reports (validated by an auditor), and learn more about the donations received.
We are not climatoseptics. We believe that global warming is the mother of all battles. We believe that the response to climate change is first and foremost a political one, and we are irritated to see the extent to which public policies are primarily geared towards individual action, sometimes in very guilt-inducing ways, on individual actions. However, in order to deal with a problem properly and respond appropriately, it can be useful to have a clear understanding of the issues at stake, as well as the levers on which to act. With this in mind, Framasoft, in partnership with the [Labos 1point5 research group](https://labos1point5.org), hopes to offer, in the medium term, an online application to assess the carbon footprint of one's association (as well as a simulator to see the impact of each lever that can be activated).
In recent years, we have witnessed <strong> the widespread corporate concentration of Internet actors</strong>(Youtube belonging to Google, WhatsApp to Facebook, Skype to Microsoft, etc.). This centralisation is detrimental, not only because it curbs innovation, but also because it results in a loss of freedom for users, <strong>who no longer control their digital existence</strong>: their behaviour is continually dissected and analysed so that they can be better targeted by publicity, and their data – which should be private (sites visited, emails exchanged, videos watched, etc.) – can be analysed by government services.
The way that Framasoft would like to deal with this issue is simple: to highlight and provide a Free, Ethical, Decentralised and Solidarity-based alternative to each of these services which deprive users of their freedom.
