   The South East Transition Initiatives (SETi) group, who met last week in Lewes, would like to create a toolbox for all those handy things that could be shared among many TT initiatives - a resource map of anything from pamphlets to presentations to a sort of skills-and-experience who's who to advice on how to run an unleashing to organisational stuff to... You name it!

   Pointers to such materials could easily be created on the Wiki, but I'm not sure about the materials themselves. Also they need organising, which anyone who has done that sort of thing will know takes time and effort.

   So... Does such a thing already exist, and if not, would people like one to be created? And if so, what exactly would they like it to be like?

   Yes, yes, yes -- from the US! Such a thing would be wonderful! (although we'd have to fix the spelling ;-)

   James Samuel et al. have a nice thing going in NZ at http://www.transitiontowns.org.nz/index.php/Resources/Resources. I'd be interested in evolving ideas of best practices on how to: connect with city government, work with local organizations (environmental, church, educational, social, etc), do awareness-raising events (frequency, engaging participants, etc), do outreach (tabling, media, etc), keep people engaged in personal transition, build connections among residents, etc. Obviously a lot of this might be influenced by locale and much of it is at least touched on in the Transition Handbook.

   Yes, yes, I too want to see a global Transition place for sharing resources. I like the Aotearoa website Judith. I've felt that perhaps with a bit of tweaking this Transition Net wiki could be such a place. But I want to see the left hand panel redesigned to make a more comprehensive content more easily reachable.

   I haven't yet mastered the pmWiki this uses, and meanwhile I designed a whole website to try to compass Transition - www.greenworldtrust.org.uk. I'd like to cut it up to repaste on a proper Transition resources wiki where we can all build new pages like in Wikipedia.

   One thing I've done that IS a resource I want to flag up, is a nice presentation of all the Open Space workshops at the Conference: grouped by interests and made visible yet legible side-by-side:
