Hey everyone,

I am one of the organizers of a project looking to create a full-time burner community on an island in Nicaragua. Like Burning Man, sustainability is not our focus, but it is certainly one of the things which members of the project are interested in. There is one other group also looking to create a full-time burner commity.

I want to create a single "how to" or "survival guide" that will teach members of these permanent communities everything that they need
to know about green construction techniques and sustainable energy. And of course the info would be of great use to anyone outside of these communities who has interest in doing it for themselves.

I can see it almost mirroring Bob Stahl's old, but great page on "Temporary Desert Structures". Here's a link to that:

www.geocities.com/potatotra...uetarp.htm

But, this new page would focus on structures that are permanent, or semi-permanent, plus sustainable energy.

And, of course, I'd like to see this new how to/survival guide as a wiki, so that everyone can contribute.

Does anyone know of anything similar that already exists?

And would anyone be interested in helping out with this?

Cheers!
