Just one man rather than a group, Alex Weir. His idea is to make the 
whole library available as a series of 44 downloadable CDs for local 
distribution. Travis Hughey also hosts the whole library at his 
website, including a lot of pdf's which aren't downloadable from 
Alex's site (graphic files, not text):
<http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/CD3WD/INDEX.HTM>

There's a lot of great information at CD3WD, but it's not easy to 
find just what's there, the index gives you a few key words and not 
much more, it's difficult to browse.

We made a couple of sub-directories to the CD3WD library that are 
easier to access, available at the Journey to Forever Small Farms 
Library:
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html>

Online collections

VITA -- Volunteers in Technical Assistance -- 160 VITA publications
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#oncoll>

FAO Better Farming Series -- Series of 44 manuals
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#betfarm>

Classic manuals online -- 46 classic books for backyarders, 
homesteaders, small farms and tropical development
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#classic>

That's only a small part of the CD3WD library, it's worth spending 
time there, lots of treasure to find.

HTH - all best
