The shrieking anger is still very much here, of course, but it won't quite be running the show in Washington for a while.

>>>> Ecological Building Network is starting the Home Base Library -- a place where we can host and make accessible an online nexus connecting users with the technical information they need. Engineering tests, white papers, field reports, codes, and standards will all be made available either as downloadable PDF documents, or by link to the authors’ websites. We will also launch a collection of free, wiki-based guides to natural building techniques, and ultimately establish a physical library and conference facility tied to affiliate universities.

>>>> I ask for help! This is a big project, and I'm not yet sure how it will be funded, but right off we need help expanding the Joomla website of EBNet, and then also guidance in setting up a wiki-based forum where, we hope, folks like you might be willing to post up simple guides like "earthen floor basics", "choosing straw bales", "bamboo joinery", etc.
