We began development on the Zope 2 platform and created a prototype
engine (HG) which is available at
<http://permaculture.info/hg.tar.gz>.  The process of developing this
prototype caused us to reevaluate our choice of Zope as a delelopment
platform due to complexity and overhead within the Zope platform.  We
have decided to switch to the commonly used development toolset of an
RDBMS (MySQL) a web server (Apache).  We are focusing our efforts on
creating a well developed database schema in order to utilize data by
multiple external methods, but are currently developing a Python CGI
(Eden) as the priciple web based interface.  

These changes should not affect the original proposal.
