permaculture

[paul wheaton <paul@richsoil.com>]

I'm also a software developer turned permie.  I'm a Java guy.  I'm a
big fan of forums and and set up some Java forums in 1998.  They now
get about 70,000 visitors a day:  javaranch.com

I set up some permie forums a few years ago, and they are doing pretty
well at permies.com.  That gets about 2000 page views a day and about
30 posts a day.

I think that rather than create something new, first take a look
around at what already exists.  There are lots and lots of really cool
things that exist and there are some really cool things in the hopper.
 Last fall I learned about how the amazing data from edible forest
gardens is being mashed into a database!  Somewhere I read about a
permie wiki.  And there are some great vids on youtube!   The home
site for permaculture activist magazine has a HUGE list of resources
(although the last time I checked, it didn't mention my stuff).
