Well up to date this is a closed list, and I have written to the list
to ask for permission to include you on the list.

A list server has been compiled and should be available for this job.

My thoughts on this are that maybe we should take the agriculture out of
it so that it doesn't get tooo long.
I envision that we would have news groups which reflect the diversity of
permaculture. Also to help us define the FAQ's.

I see things MAYBE!!! developing along these lines.

alt.permaculture.aquaculture.
alt.permaculture.design
alt.permaculture.energy
alt.permaculture.small animals
alt.permaculture.biodegradables
alt.permaculture.marketing
alt.permaculture.herbs
alt.permaculture.dryland
alt.permaculture.literature
alt.permaculture.culture.Re-evaluation co-counselling
                        .Christian
                        .Aboriginal    
          \             .Ethnic
          [:-)>         .ETC.........
          /
Once again I have posted this to the Perma list for comment, discussion and
ratification.

We have offered to be part of compiling the FAQ's and to cache it here.
The webserver is up and running and an area for permaculture is being 
prepared with the Faq's being a part of that.

We have a membership list of 726, with the new one ready to come out.
The numbers on E-mail is growing expotentially, and we expect to nab a heap
more at the AGM-community day-Christmas party, to be held at the Edith
Cowan University, on the 15th(16) of Nov.
