[Pil-pc-oceania] Permaculture People's politics

[permaculture at apollobay.org.au]

Well, I know for me, it just creates more emails... that's why I'm only on
the PIL list serve... (oh, and a couple of others like the Food Security
Network...)

PRI/ Geoff Lawton's site is not a list serve, it's a internet forum where
you can visit and look at the posts whenever you like, instead of having
your inbox full of list serve emails.

>From what I see, there is a strong division between those who know and use
the PIL list serve and those who use PRI's discussion forum.

Tamara first posted the PPP thing on the 24th of May.  It wasn't brought up
on the PIL list serve until I posted it on June 29th (and no one from the
PIL list serve seemed to have heard about it).

There is a strong need for the permaculture network to be more united, more
aware of each other and of the history of permaculture, and not just the
history according to one person, but to have history from all it's aspects.

PcM when it had it's 25th birthday the other year, was going to publish a
book on it's history... from what I know, interviews were undertaken,
articles were written, but the book didn't eventuate.

I've posted the load of PPP posts from the this list serve onto PRI's forum
site.
I've pointed to those interested, to join the PIL list serve... but maybe
they don't won't to have their inbox full of PIL list serve.  I won't be
doing any more cross posting or joining another list.

Cheers!
Fern

> What! another bl**dy list!  

i don't see lists as at all fragmentational.  I am sure
there are many users of both lsits who don't want to read
any of this political debate.  why not have one cohesive
place for it?  especially as most posts are lengthy.  If
soemone wants the role of forwarding posts across both lsits
that's fine by me, but i'd ask again, why not a new spot for
this list .  Saves a lot of cross-posting.

Ian
