Important consideration indeed.

Would be great to translate hg into other languages - or better yet, have an
option for an interface that is purely image-based and uses no words.  How
does PFAF do it?  Is it only in English?

I could help translate into a few languages...

Probably something to do down the road though.  But definitely something we
could get a grant for, especially if we worked in collaboration with orgs in
Cuba and elsewhere!

Is permaculture (per se) being practiced and taught in Cuba?
Are there any online resources on this topic?

What would happen if Cuba became the 54th US state? Would the multinationals,
i.e. Monsanto, ADM, Cargill
and others move in, shove aside all existing Cuban organic farming,
vermicomposting, PC and other natural technologies beyone value?

There must be a way for the Cuban people to keep what they have yet be free of
the yoke of communism and domination by multinational
ag conglomerates and transnational trade agreements like NAFTA.

Is there a PC-flavored democratic solution to solve Cuba's economic and
development problems. I don't think it is Cuba's destiny to become
a mid-Carribean whorehouse as some have implied.

Comments?
