Rich:

Do you plan tp follow my suggestions and do the following:

1) Contact ibiiblio and have permaculture.info permisions reset to you alone
2) Announce the work Scott is hiring you to do to the group of subscribers in 
the pcdb list
3) Ask people in the pcdb list to provide a team to develop and maintain 
permaculture.info
   then have ibiblio create group level login access to that filesystem for 
those meeting yours
   and Scott's approval who announce to the list that they will commit their 
time to
   accomplishing those tasks

I think this is a good plan and follows the democratic process. If the group wants it I will donate permasphere.com to 
the project which can be used for commercial activity. There has been some interest in PermaSphere as a name for
the project. There could be two sites, permaculture.info at ibiblio and 
permasphere.com, hosted elsewhere.

What do you think?

Glad to hear that your intentional community and PFAF are doing so well. Hope 
you are having a great 2007.

Cheers,

Lawrence
