	http://www.appropedia.org/Permaculture_wiki is the idea and http://www.appropedia.org/Chickens is an example of adding subpages to a wiki element, so that there are inputs, outputs and used-in elements. A database of the elements present at FeF might be a good example with which to test this, and might atract appropedians.

			:Note that [[Appropedia:\|Appropedia]] now has Semantic MediaWiki, so we can build an interesting database of permaculture elements inputs, outputs, functions etc. The [http://www.freebase.com/view/base/permaculture Freebase example] looks good, and could serve as a good target for a set of templates on Appropedia.
			:Who knows Semantic MediaWiki enough to help us get this going? (We're looking for interns, so that might be our answer - if we can find one with Semantic experience, that could be magic.) --[[User:Chriswaterguy\|Chriswaterguy]] 09:06, 27 March 2012 (CEST)

	Edit We could look at the USGS data collection standard operating procedure for a good how-to guide on this. Also data may already exist for some locales in GIS format.

	#The software accesses a database of organisms (possibly derived from [http://www.pfaf.org/user/default.aspx Plants For A Future]).

(e.g. Fruit trees need rotting matter, strawberries produce that when they die, so plant your strawberries near your fruit trees.) Where none of the elements you listed cover the needs (e.g. you want fish, but have no food source for them), it suggests an element that could fill the need and is appropriate to your climate.		#The software accesses a database of organisms (possibly derived from [http://www.pfaf.org/user/default.aspx Plants For A Future]).

			'''Additions''': I think the above is a good start, but to get a really accurate modeling of a permaculture patch one has perhaps to do some more magic. So the Software should additionally
			#be able to cope with micro climate measurement to find suitable niches for plants on the area (the overall climate is of course important, but the affections of micro climate are often overwhelming). The micro climate could be collected through something like an micro climate measure stick, getting information on wind, radiation, moisture, soil moisture, soil temperature as well as temperatures in different heights.
