It would seem appropriate at this time to suggest that we utilize a new
discussion forum in the form of a permaculture-mg sister mailing list
focusing on permaculture and sustainable agriculture principles.
I am making available an unmoderated mailing list just for this purpose,
sustag-principles. It is available now; subscription instructions follow.
Those that primarily want discussion of hands-on permaculture technology
can have their way in permaculture-mg; those that want to discuss the
social, political, religious, cultural and legal issues related to
permaculture and sustainable agriculture can use sustag-principles.
These guidelines are flexible, of course - I'm just suggesting a way we can
make our conferences more useful to all who read and post to them.
As with permaculture-mg, sustag-principles is now processed, htmlized
and made accessable in an indexed, threaded, chronological archive in my
permaculture homepage.
