permaculture

[Paul Wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

I'm in powerful need of a large, healthy, active, caring, online permaculture 
community.

This list is the closest thing I have found, but it seems there is some less 
than
harmonious spirit. 

I've found that this can often be the case with e-mail, so I much prefer 
forum software.

I current manage some forums that have 500,000 unique users per month.  There 
is only one
rule:  "be nice".  And that rule is managed with an iron fist.  Because of 
the fist, the
community thrives.

Of course, that's for geeky stuff.

I thought it might be nice to have permaculture forums.  So I set some up 
this morning.

Please try it out.  Let me know what you think.  I can add more forums if 
people want me
to.  Most importantly, if somebody implies that anybody is anything less than 
charming, I
can delete it.  

The best part is that the more we talk about permaculture, the more 
permaculture
information becomes freely available on the web.
