This was done here in piedmont NC years ago and it was wonderful; was my 
introduction to permaculture.
We had lectures, brainstorming session at farms in the area where we 
attempted to devise PC solutions
fpr projects and problems on those farms. It works well. A real PC design 
course should follow something
like this somewhat more informal, less-structured convocation.

For those interested I now have an organic-gardening list up and running 
(after I eat lunch). There will
be authors of gardening books there and others; the list will be kept focused 
and on-topic. All are welcome.
I expect this to be a good thing.
