As far as funding goes, I agree - the plan that Jeremy and I kicked around a few months ago was to put together an application for the Shuttleworth foundation, who back open source efforts in many different fields. I was a bit disheartened recently, when I checked back at their site to find that

Hi Felix, Did you come across my project page at www.didaxy.net? Your idea sounds very similar to what I have been thinking about for some time - I've done quite a lot of research and have some ideas about how to make a start, which I'd love to share if you're interested. I am a very keen propo

Alex, I grew up on a truck farm here in the US, so I have a bit of experience in that area. When I move to Paris I am going to try growing things there. I will be in the middle of Paris and probably limited to my apartment so it will be small scale urban horticulture but I would be very happy t
