Re: Organic Gardening List

Title: Re: [GWL] Organic Gardening List
May I suggest that the people who want new lists get together offlist.  Hashing out a new list could get rather far afield for this list.

Wonderful criticism Christopher. Personally I would prefer a list that stays on topic
even if its name doesn't imply the subject matter I am most interested in for that list.
My market farming and permaculture lists cover the nuts and bolts of biointensive
gardening and farming, which is my main interest, ahead of Japanese Woodworking :-))
(anyone interested in a list & wiki for that? Woodworking writers? WWW)

So, will it be one list, GFGWL? or organic-gardening, native-plants (native-flora?)
or all three. I am more than williing to create any or all of these lists,
as long as they will be used. Diana: will you co-own GFGWL? Would you prefer any of the
other list names?

When you all arrive at a consensus I will have the list or lists created.

Is there a list devoted to building personal and public library gardening and farming book
collections, a list for info junkies and bibliophiles; one that covers tracking public
collections interested in donations. My own library is extensive. I guess its in my blood;
my Father spent his career as curator of the rare books collection at UNC.

Cheers,

Lawrence
