hello everyone,
My name is Stephanie, and I’m writing to announce an exciting project
that a few of us from this list are collaborating on, and that will
hopefully involve you all. The project, called the Permaculture
Information Web (PIW), is an initiative to create an online database of
relationship-oriented information about plants and other organisms. As
we all understand, Permaculture involves the weaving of meaningful
relationships between the components of a system; between organisms in
the case of an agricultural system. Currently, there exist resources
which offer information about individual components (i.e. the PFAF
database), but none that offer information about the relationships
between them…
…yet. PIW seeks to satisfy this informational need. Users will be
able to enter names of plants growing in their gardens, learn about their
interrelationships, which functions (i.e. nitrogen-fixation) may need to
be satisfied, which natives satisfy these functions, how natives may be
substituted by edibles, medicinals, or others…
With your participation, PIW can become an incredibly rich
informational resource. Its content will be contributed by *you* –
members of the Permaculture community with valuable information about
ecological relationships. To participate in the project, please join our
listserv at:

and visit our website at:

We recently received some initial grant funding, are very committed to
bringing PIW into fruition. Thank you, we look forward to some good
cross-pollination!
peace
