Maximillian just put up a temporary website for us all to view in real time as the design process unfolds. please view it at
www.losangelespermacultureguild.cjb.net/
any artwork or materials to include can be emailed to david@greeningplanet.com

also registered are www.losangelespermacultureguild.com and www.lapermacultureguild.com if we choose to use one of those for a URL

i am glad to be a part of creating something we can all be proud of.

let's continue the discussions here on tribe so that we don't have to keep cutting and pasting every email address manually.

briefly,

i like your ideas and thoughtfulness

i think a website is the place to start
love the idea of a need and resource list!

i also think a discussion group would be good

since we have lapg for posts, maybe having a
discussion forum would be good too!

what's great about yahoo groups is you can go to the
website!
