We were excited to hear about Appropedia, which can enable us to network transition techniques in a broad international way, but we need a more local way of networking between groups in our various transition initiatives which are working in essentially the same areas. Jointly, we could make a lot more progress than each inventing the same wheel. Perhaps the Network could compile a list of groups and contact info so that we can kick this off: perhaps as Yahoo or Google groups?? For myself, for example, I would love to know if there are other groups looking at waste issues.</p> <p>Best wishes, Chris Harmer - Transition Stroud Waste Group.</p> Further to Tamzin’s comments on some form of Groups network, we discussed exactly this in Stroud yesterday evening.

For myself, for example, I would love to know if there are other groups looking at waste issues.

When I joined Monday I gave a user name and the screen had no room options or list of users. It was just empty with no options available. It was between 2 and 3pm.

Did anyone else from Ireland log on? Davie perhaps?

In my research I'm gathering all info related to food projects across the movement. I agree it would be great to have it in a continually updated (wiki?)database accessable to all - I'd be happy to share my findings if such a project got off the ground.</p> <p>Tamzin</p> In response to the idea for the network to collate info on Transition projects – this is exactly what we’re currently working on for the upcoming Transition Guide to Food (to be published next year) that will hopefully be followed by guides on other relevant issues (economics, psychology of change etc).
