[What an oddyssey it has been for permaculture.info ...:LL]

After over a year, maybe more, of being offline due to hosting problems, the Permaculture Wiki, permaculture.info, is now back online and ready to accomodate anyone interested in continuing the work they started there and/or begin new work. ibiblio is hosting our site and we owe them much gratitude for this.

We need contributors and mid-level admins. Hope we get a flood of volunteers. I am not sure how to proceed with building a core development group or a community of registered contributors; suggestions welcome about this aspect of the project.

There is a separate mailing list for a development team. It is:
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/pcdb

Project example:
A group could create an ethics in permaculture section to be referred to as the Ethics In Permaculture FAQ (frequently asked questions). List users interested in this could be referred to this document-in-progress instead of reinventing the ethics wheel, instead, giving it a turn,
a revolution to stir the pot.

Guild discussion in this list? Post highlights in the Guilds section of permaculture.info wiki.

The site runs in MediaWiki and is referred to as the Permaculture Information Web on the main page. This is not a fixed name for the wiki., just a convenient description.

The Permaculture Information Web is a collaborative project to provide a comprehensive resource of permaculture related information. This wiki uses a precise language to describe the different parts of human habitat and that language is used to categorize the articles in this wiki. This narrative identifies the categories and shows how they fit together. Follow links to start exploring the content.

If your just joining, here's author guidance. For more information the category system go to page type.

Overview

In this wiki, community members are using principles of permaculture design to build a base of knowledge for designing human habitats.

The living parts of these habitats are made of elements; things like apple trees, chickens and dandelions. Groups of elements that interact in a beneficial way are organized into guilds. A guild is defined by a few core elements that define that guilds character.

One or more guilds guilds can be associated with built structures as suited to a particular location to create a pattern. For example, a hayfield, mulch, a chicken tractor, chicken forage plant guilds, fencing, and a compost system may combine into a chicken forage garden system, where chickens and materials are moved around to achieve a particular economy and diverse yield. patterns, built structures, and even elements are associated with the zones that describe the proximity to our homes and paths of travel.

These patterns are tuned to local context, described by hydrology, soils, and landscape setting. designs must be attuned to the creations of nature as well as the natural disturbance regimes that dominate landscapes. Techniques and tools are used to evaluate and construct these patterns.

Ecological design and permaculture work are done by organizations and groups that are doing work on specific sites or have online resources. These sites are distributed across many lands, and are similar patterns occur within the natural provinces of the earth called ecoregions.

On this site people share ideas as well as online resources, books, documents, and their designs
