> Hi All,
>
> Further to the posting on the list regarding online permaculture designs,
> I want to take this opportunity to put a request on to the list
> regarding web technologies.
> The Permaculture Association Britain is looking to expand/enhance its
> web-presence by offering a more sophisticated suite of technologies to
> the International Permaculture community.
> The site, permaculture.org.uk, is already the top listing in a
> Google.co.uk search and gets plenty of hits.
>
> However I am keen to see the technologies offered by the site being
> expanded considerably.
>
> With three key goals:
>
> 1. Increasing member contribution. Moving to a largely member-driven
> content. Providing fully-featured personal/project web-presence
> hosting services.
> 2. Embedded delicious-style Tagged database retrieval technology
> throughout the site. Possible opensource technologies include:
> Scuttle.org
> 3. Image hosting. Obviously we would like to have something as slick
> as Flickr integrated into the site but at the very least I want to
> see at least the basic functionality with technologies for
> uploading directly from members PC/Macs. Possible technologies:
> Gallery 2, Coppermine (as used by Geoff Lawton).
>
>
> If anyone has an opinion on any of these technologies or would like to
> input in the design or consultation phase they are most welcome.
> We are planning to have at least one session on consultation at this
> years Convergence http://www.permaculture.org.uk/mm.asp?mmfile=conv2006
>
> What is the real overall key outcome is to have a fully-featured free,
> or donation-based, portal for serious permies, designers et al, to have
> a good-looking web-presence and to foster the kind of online community
> that yahoogroups, delicious and Flickr already do.
> All based around /our/ own code/, /by that i mean the whole
> international community.
>
> I hope that these goals will overlap with some of yours own
> personal/work/activist agendas and that it can become a reality.
>
> Those that wish to get involved, email me, or office@permaculture.org.uk.
>
> All the Best,
> Niels Corfield
>
> PS For those interested I have set up a Flickr permaculture group:
