Hi guys
Ok, I am not a tech savvie person (didn't learn to use a computer
until I was 26). Prior to setting up the Permaculture SE Asia facebook
page I asked on this site for suggestions about how to go about it.
Got none.
After I set it up (because many permies are on FB and it's a something
I know how to use) and then notified the list LL told me that I could
consider using Google+.

I will try to set up a Google+ public page for it though I think that
any participation in Google resources requires a Google or GMail account
or some sort of openID account or ID. That's really no more difficult
than subscribing to this PC list; upside is that those resources used
can be made viewable by the public or made private if desired.

Non-gmail accountholders may still be able to subscribe to a Google Group. Someone needs to try and let us know.

I like Google Groups. They are straightforward forums which can accept
file/image attachments. They can have multiple owners. You can mirror
posts in a blog with same name as group, add also a Google Site and
Google Docs for additional functions.

I just set up pcseasia (short names are good). It is located here:

pcseasia (Permaculture Southeast Asia)
https://groups.google.com/group/pcseasia

I have invited Felicity and Daniel to join and can make either/both owners of the forum.

This is easy to use and offers many useful functions. Of "everything out there" I think this is the best, in a way better than ibiblio,
who now sends those wanting a forum at ibiblio to Google Groups.

I have it configure to be open to the public for message archive viewing
though post require that you be a member. Anyone can join the group though I can change that to by-invitation-only. Let me know if anyone has questions or suggestions about this resource.

LL
I am subscribed as lfljvenaura@gmail.com and venaurafarm@bellsouth.net.
