Well I've sent the invite+link for this site to 40+ names a few days back and I've had no response. I'm still hopeful that with the right structure and perhaps a bit more publicity this site can work. Admittedly I'm a bit daunted by the idea of making Post Carbon Northern Rivers (PCNR) an awareness raising body; as I put in the statement of intent I'd prefer this site to be a way to enable concerned people to come together and share questions and info about what can be done locally in response.

So I will stick with this angle for the time being. My hope is to one day have a wiki here that can be printed (via a Creative Commons licence perhaps) and distributed before it becomes impractical. In the absence of any suggestions re structure I've used the topics from the Relocalize Forums at http://www.relocalize.net/forum and added Health as well. These may grow into wiki sections with time. Hopefully referring to these headings in this site will encourage a response. I'll also see what I can do to increase the publicity about this site.

In the meantime if you want more encouragement to get involved check out http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/OriginalArticles/ThrivingPartOne.htm...

And remember it's ok to post here even if you're only starting to think through the enormity of this issue. That's why this site was set up -- many questions need to be asked before we can work out what the answers might be.
