Subject: getting involved with the farm project web presence?
I was curious about getting involved helping out with the farm project
web presence. I was specifically thinking it would be really
interesting to have a online forum to let members easily cross
communicate with each other, as well as share recipes and the like. I'm
happy to work on creating such things, so wanted to reach out to figure
out who I should get together with on this. Is there some sort of tech
committee for the PFP that I could be involved with?
Please get back to me when you get a chance,
Thanks,
-Sean
