been around since 1996, according to the archives. I support
making use of the existing resources instead of reinventing
wheels, too. No sense in diluting a small community. <br>

Coblist mailing list

It's not a high traffic list by any means, but there are sometimes
interesting discussions there. It peaked around 2003 with 2146
messages, but now is down to less than a hundred a year. There's
some good info in those archives, too, as I recall. <br>
<br>
<br>
Regarding the <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mailman-owner@sustainablesources.com">mailman-owner@sustainablesources.com</a> and other such
lists, I don't monitor those addresses. But you can always find
me at this one and many other @greenbuilder.com addresses. <br>

<div>At the last board meeting of the Cob Research Institute
we discussed the possibility of a dedicated cob list serve,
similar to the GSBN, in that it would be primarily for
professionals and specific to technical aspects of cob,
engineering, permitting, testing, connection and other
architectural details, etc. We didn't want to re-invent the
wheel, or start yet another list unless there was interest.
So I'm starting with you to explore the possibility and
interest level.<br>
<br>
</div>
1. It's possible to not limit it to cob, but could include
earthen buildings in general<br>
</div>
<div>2. It should be by invitation only, but if it begins
through GSBN, then members already in GSBN would be already on
the list if they so chose<br>
</div>
<div>3. We would need a moderator<br>
</div>
<div>4. It could be it's own list, on the GSBN list with
specific headers, or some other permutation that might be able
to take advantage of the structure already set up by GSBN, but
only received by members that wish to participate (if
possible).<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>We are excited to open up the dialogue about this and see
where it goes.<br>

<div>p.s. I attempted to bring the issue up first but emails to
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:mailman-owner@sustainablesources.com">mailman-owner@sustainablesources.com</a>,
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:mailman-request@sustainablesources.com">mailman-request@sustainablesources.com</a>,
and to <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:mailman@103.greenbuilder.com">mailman@103.greenbuilder.com</a>
all failed. If anybody knows what's going on, I'd like to
know.<br>
