permaculture

[Gordon Simms <gordonsimms_12@hotmail.com>]

Just a side thought... I'm hearing a lot today about "Open Source" ie. Open 
Source Software, Open Source Hardware... How about Open Source Permaculture?
Principles:- Free repository available to the world- Contents downloaded, 
used freely, improvements uploaded and shared- Contents organically ranked, 
rated by community- Designer and Educator reputation is organically provided 
by how much high rated content provided to the community- New permies-to-be 
can naturally select an educator for a course based on community reputation, 
geographic location etc..- Clients looking for designers can naturally select 
a designer based on reputation, geographic location 
Repository:  Wiki Permaculture
Contents- Permaculture Design Course Curriculums- Permaculture Landscape 
Designs- Polyculture designs- Other ideas?
Would the above environment provide a platform for curriculum templates to 
grow and evolve organically in the permaculture community?Thoughts?
