In case some of you old permie hands are wondering - this is basically a site devoted to identifying and expanding "Guilds"

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:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/piw

and visit our website at:
http://www.permaculture.info

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
*Stephanie
