I am extremely confused about infrastructure of all these organizations, resources and other stuff. I hope you or someone else can answer a few questions:
There are so many websites and resources. What are the most useful ones?
How many of the groups are situated not in developed western countries? Does percentage of English-speaking people in country predict how many EA groups there are?
Both .impact and CEA are completely independent, other than helping each other out in a general sense, or choosing to collaborate on particular projects where it makes sense to do so.
The purpose of LEAN (Local Effective Altruism Network) - a .impact project—is to seed local EA groups and support their leaders with guidance, expertise and technical resources. The purpose of the EA Hub (eahub.org) - also a .impact project—is to have a centralized site where EAs can put up an individual or group profile, record their actions and donations, find a local group in their area, find various resources etc.
This is dependent on what you’re looking for. LEAN and its website (localeanetwork.org) is good for starting and building a local group, the EA Hub is good for finding other EAs and groups, the Newsletter is good for keeping up to date with everything going on in the community. I could try and recommend the best sites and resources if you had a particular goal in mind?
I just did a very quick, rough search and there’s around 110. And there are undoubtedly more resources in English than in other languages, so this likely reflects in group demographics. If it’s something you’re interested in, there are some non-English language sites listed here: https://eahub.org/links#non-english-languages
We do support GWWC chapters and 80k chapters, any local EA groups.
The groups that we’ve seeded have been general EA groups, but if for some reason the group leaders wanted to focus on GWWC or 80K, that would be fine and we’d still support them.
Most of the support we offer applies to any local group. The websites we make for groups are from a standard template we made, so they’re general EA sites, but we let the groups adapt them, so I suppose they could turn them into GWWC/80K specific sites if they wanted to.

How is .impact related to Centre for Effective Altruism?
What’s the difference between LEAN and eahub?

Hey! Thanks for the questions :)

Hope this helps.
How would you compare LEAN with GWWC’s chapters? Do you support GWWC chapters directly?
