My main interest is what I call EcoLandTech, i.e. permaculture,
biointensive regenerative agriculture, ecological land use and human
habitat and community building. For a long time I have been interested
in developing a digital information-sharing network for the global
community interested in these things. Part of this involves creating a
databse (MySQL/php), a wiki (using MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki,
blogs, mailing lists, webforums, bookmark sharing resources (Diigo),
ftp, an assortment of integrated Google resources and websites. People
creating digital media (images, video, audio, text, pdf, html, etc)
could export their work into any or all of these web-based,
interactive, publically accessable, resources to stimulate and develop
an ongoing long term collaboration of people from all over the world,
empowering them and stabilizing their lives and helping to build
community.
Lawrence,

I share your main interest of EcoLandTech and think that a wiki would be
a good method to consolidate the extensive experiential knowledge of
subscribers on this and other internet lists. What are your thoughts
about this one year after you posted the above?

I have renewed interest in doing that.
NEEDED: A central repository/portal/encyclopedia/communications central
is needed for all of us sharing common interests, which are many, deep and diverse. Something we can all interact with, edit our own stuff, append or comment on other's work, develop and extend, change and refine the basic structure of the site, i.e. co-develop site infrastructure complete with updating all needed external links to important resources, such as other sites doing this same thing. Of course it does not need to exist only in one place; many can create such a resource, a carbon copy of everyone else's and implement deep inter-site linking and networking, i.e. resource sharing, in real time if possible. I have been thinking about getting back to work on my MediaWiki installation at ibiblio to see how it could be used to create a permaculture knowledgebase. There is also Google+, which can be combined with Google Docs, Sites, Groups and Blogger Blogs for a powerful information and networking resource. As you know this list is
mirrored by a Google Group and Blogger Blog, and a Site as well and Google "site:" searches can be done too; plus the list homepage information. This provides us with an easy to access and navigate collection of online interactive tools for knowledgebase building, resource sharing and community networking. I can add a Google+ "permaculture mailing list at ibiblio" Circle as well and later a G+ professional orgnization page. GMane also mirrors this list. And there is permies.com and all the fine stuff that exists there, much of which can be integrated with this forum one way or another (X posting, for one, is a good tool to use).

What are your thoughts, Steve?
