Great news, thanks Lawrence. Glad to see that the work that
contributors have put on can be built on and shared again.

Looking at the front page:

"In this wiki community members are using principles of permaculture
design to build a base of knowledge for designing human habitats" -
I'll be interested to see what that looks like in practice, and
whether there are ideas there for the structure of Appropedia.org. Or
perhaps someone can give some feedback on Appropedia's structure -
www.appropedia.org/Appropedia:CategoryTree - we've put in a lot of
work on the categories, but they can definitely be improved. But that
could be a whole other thread.

Open source wiki knowledge FTW!
