I'd be very interested in working with anyone interested in this.

I probably need to clarify though - I'm probably not able to split myself
between sites, so I'm not offering to help set up or administer anything on
ibiblio. I'm not able to help maintain a second wiki site.

What I'm suggesting is to develop the permaculture knowledge database
within the existing Appropedia wiki - but as a whole growing permaculture
section with hundreds and eventually thousands of pages on permaculture
topics (in addition to the existing thousands of pages on related subjects
like natural building and renewable energy).

The permaculture pages can be given their own identity, and their own
homepage (similar to the Appropedia Technology
Portal<http://www.appropedia.org/Portal:Appropriate_technology>).
But the way I see it - why have permaculture on one wiki, and appropriate
technology, solar passive design, green building info and all the rest on a
different wiki? These are so interlinked that they can play together very
nicely.

I'll email you off list re further details...

I think Paul collaborates with Appropedia to some degree.


Aye, Paul's a great friend of Appropedia.
