So what's all this about then?
We're going to build a house. But not just any house- using the mystical collaborative powers of the internet, we plan to build a house that behaves like an organism. Taking a lesson from the principles of | permaculture, the house that we design will:

* Care for the earth * Care for people * Educate people * Distribute surplus

Please feel free to read, contest, criticize, edit and otherwise participate in the project. One of the most important things will be deciding on design objectives. You can see those, here: MyHomeYourHome/Design_Objectives

There's actually a course running at Otago Polytechnic on Permaculture Design, to see the WikiEducator page for the course go to: Permaculture_design

TODO

 * Name project (relocate pages if necessary)
 * Layout pages (done-ish, but waiting for others to input)
 * Transfer content from GoogleDocs (Scott thinks everything is here now)
 * mailing list for updates that people can add themselves to on the site? (Currently working with a GoogleGroups account)
 * create a website as a portal to the various nodes in the project. To fill the role of project home page, and place to link new people to. (Potentially on Emily Carr Institute webspace...)
 * do logo/branding/image design. (Could be an art-student school project.)


 * Get onto doing actual research for the house. :)


 * promotion
 * through facebook group
 * friends and parents
 * by trying to get others involved
 * create relationships with various design groups that might want to be involved (open architecture network, architecture for humanity, designers without borders, engineers without boarders, wikieducation etc.)
 * create links to design websites, groups and forums


 * Visualisation of the nodes in this project
 * Visualisation of the wiki's layout so that people can see what's where and the ratios of volumes of information?
 * This could just be an uploaded diagram


 * Learn how to edit and format wikis
 * Tutorials provided by WikiEducator

 * Permanent 'press releases'
