Hello....
Great to get a sense of the building energy for transition fife, and the positive feedback for the idea of a blog.
I've therefore just gone ahead and invited EVERYONE to opt in to being a co-author of this blog.
The great power in collaborative blogging is that any author can invite more authors; that we can check in with the latest news at any times without having to unpick long emails etc. There are also helpful 'sidebar' information pieces we can add - like links, films, books, polls (like the one on the right) etc. etc.. All that can come in time.
Another good thing about a blog is we can include pictures. The one above is a composite of a session from the Rural Leadership Programme which just finished up in December - thanks to Michael Hughes for the images...
I suggest a separate discussion list will be useful - I see this as another kind of thing; something for working groups etc. to use, where the posts are less 'newsy' and more about planning and discussing topics. I'd vote for google groups simply because it means that we'll only need to register for a google account to access both the group and the blog if we want.
Any chance of a date for a sustainable transport first workgroup event being announced on the blog soon?
And also, if you don't know about it already, check out the Fife Diet blog! And this article about it from the BBC:

onward, transition Falkland/Howe of Fife/Fife!

Hi,
We do now have a google e-mail group which is open to anyone interested in networking about this work of transition in Fife.
Go to groups.google.com and search for Transition Fife. You ought to be able to join that way. Any problems, let me know.
