Hi Folks,
This all sound like an interesting project, with a slight sense of
Deja-vu.

Hi Richard

I'm working on a project that is in many ways complimentary to the pfaf
database, it grew from my initial idea to write a little database
programme to record my own tree planting project; I realised that there
wasn't a cheap product out there for people without programming skills
and also the fact that there isn't a shared resource of data from
diffferent "real life" people. To address this I'm working on (in
collaboration with Martin Crawford at A.R.T.) an online tree
planting/yield database, this will be available freely to anyone that
may have an interest in either starting a woodland/agroforestry scheme
or already runs one, it should hopefully be relevant to people with any
scale of planting. The status of the project so far is that we've
registered a domain and have found a programmer, all the initial costs
(hosting, development etc) have been taken care of and the aim is for
the project to be "owned" jointly by several trustees.

Martin suggested that access to your species database would make a
valuable addition for those that ae in the process of planning their
schemes, would it be OK to import the relevant species from your
database into ours, if not would it be OK to have some kind of link for
each?

This is intended to be a totally open project and we would welcome any
input you may have, we've set up a forum at http://forum.afn.org.uk
where interested parties can participate in shaping this product, you'd
be most welcome to sign up and air your views.

Best regards
