Hey all
Its really awesome to see how much the movement is coming along. I see posts of people starting communities, people offering technologies etc that we can use.
Fundamental to TVP is the centralised database.
Every one of these projects going on around the world is producing tests and case studies we should all be using.
We need to begin to document, in a central database/library, the specific systems to put in place for getting these projects going. For example, people want to develop an off-the-grid community.
Some people seem a little against these, but if you really think about it, it seems to be a fundamental stepping stone in shifting the mindset from the current system to the of TVP.
So if the information database for TZM existed, this should be a website, which requires community members to login, more people would be able to begin the following:
1) Getting themselves off the grid (if that is all they wish to explore at this point)
2) Provide a blueprint for the different systems and technologies a community would need
(Community layout, what works what doesnt, sewage treatment/usage options, best options for housing in specific climates, internal agricultural production, the computer network, the internal communication network, best option for energy, how much energy is required per person/capita, food inventory, etc, etc)
3) Work as a foundation for getting the TVP centralised database model started
I'd be happy to begin talking with people about what this would need to include, format, user interface, etc
Any thoughts?
