Paul, I'm a graduate student in China trying to spread the word about Permaculture.  I know making videos is a lot of work and see your website is copyrighted, but I can't imagine not wanting to share with the largest population of (crippled) Internet users in the world.  YouTube is blocked outright here, and recently VPNs and proxies don't work either.  

What would it take to convince you to let me spread your videos to the rest of the world?  If you get your videos to me, I will add subtitles and dub a few and post them on several ChinaTube sites.  I would be posting them with links to permies (through google translate) and a new copyleft wiki and forum in Chinese.

Is it worth it?  Just by labeling it with the words 'forienger' and 'american', your videos will see thousands of hits from bored college students and depressed lower class, leaving their own farmsteads behind for a factory job in the city.  People don't know about permaculture here, but it's so close to Chinese tradition it's rediculous.  A few new tools, techniques, and outlets to sell organics and this could start off with some amazing force.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to make my own videos too, but I have close to no permaculture experience and am not half as handsome as you are.
How's this coming?

I'm willing to help out with both the script and the Chinese version!

Don't let this die!

I've been in China for three years too long and am now starting my own permaculture wiki and forums in Chinese.  To date, I can find very little permaculture information in Chinese and no specific information whatsoever.

I'm looking for some videos I can dub and add subtitles to, posting on the major Chinese video sites to spread the word.  I would want to have links from the videos both to the Chinese forums and their original sources.  Problem is, I can't get on YouTube or many other video sites, so I would need them on an FTP or some other form of direct download.

I'm also looking for anyone who writes Chinese and wants to spread the word about permaculture to the largest population of farmers in the world.

I'm already planning on using extensive links to available resources (such as permies.com) through google.translate, and am looking for other suggestions of how to get all the necessary information up on the (Chinese) web as fast, clear, and sanely as possible.  Why rewrite the book?  I just want to spread the word!

I would appreciate any kind of advice!

Thanks
Thomas
