This process is exciting - although we are just at the beginning stage of developing our organizations "cottage industry" (sales of org's logo on t-shirts here locally) we are doing the research and networking for the future site by connecting with the organizations we will be forming strategic alliances with. We also entered the KEEN footwear contest and felt so good about the proposal we were able to develop with the help of our ally.
There are so many groups and organizations that are focused on sustainable living and ecovillage/community and we think it would be a good idea to put on this blog some links to some of them so that cross pollination can begin.
Here is a link to one we found today - it is from the "EcoVillage Wiki" - it is called "NextGEN" ....

We are also going to post our "Action Plan" and the proposal we submitted to the Keen contest.
Cheers
