Welcome, Paul.
It's a long row to hoe, but worth it.
We adopted this Ning-designed web site both for its reasonable ease of use and our own html ignorance. We might today choose to play with Wordpress, and still might. We have found, however, that not all who want to "sign on" to this movement are doing so for altruistic or compatible reasons, and we've had our share of zealots and predators. Ning allows us to protect member privacy and safety and to reject and exclude those who attack others.
The bottom line--our only one--is how well we get people face-to-face, sharing a potluck dinner, talking about their lives, and helping each other live better, lighter, and happier. It is truly comforting to experience a potluck with ten new people at someone's home and amazing to see 250 come together for a community potluck and local music from which there is NO trash or waste.
After we spent years trying to learn how to hoe, breaking up the earth before planting our seeds, we realized it was not only unnecessary but wrong. No-till farming applies to people too. Go to them not to dig up their lives, but rather just leave ideas to work their way in slowly. The most resilient and tasty crops start as seeds sown on the surface.
Just be patient, and it will come.

Co-founder and Director, Village Vancouver Transition Society
