Thanks John, I agree with your perspective, and if you remember my early writings on flok, that's exactly how I put it then, that we couldn't know what would happen in Ecuador, but that it would still plant seeds.

Though I shared the hopes. Looking at what you have done (the transition proposal) makes me think of Holmgren's take on present cultural proliferation? that whilst mostly wasteful, exactly that wasteful diversity makes the amazing things possible that will really be of ongoing value as we steward challenging transitions on this planet (especially as resource constraints will likely soon make such rich cultural production impossible). Looking over the transition proposal for the first time recently was incredibly inspiring. I think you have produced (more accurately, are producing) one of the few great gems that will continue to be meaningful and valuable regardless of how quickly its initial motivation is forgotten. I write to make sure everyone has an eye on FLOK from this angle. *John Baxter* jsbaxter.com.au <http://www.jsbaxter.com.au> 0405 447 829 @jsbaxter_ <http://twitter.com/jsbaxter_> -- *Please note an intrusion wiped out my inbox on February 8; I have no record of previous communication, proposals, etc ..* P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/
