This is amazing!

If he’s like to work with both of us, I’d like to open source the entire setup and establishment process. This would include:

  • Chicken tractor construction and maintenance details in a scalable form with this level of detail:

http://www.onecommunityglobal.org/earthbag-construction-footers-foundation-and-flooring/

  • Double checking all his numbers through your own duplication of his efforts - and creating them in a non-video format that can be updated and evolved with the input of you and others
  • Open sourcing your setup and construction process as a marketing engine for all three of us

I see this as beneficial for all three of us:

  • Him: marketing and all he needs to do is answer yours and my questions
  • You: you’ve got to build all this anyway, you’d just need to take pictures and document your process and then we could create all the web infrastructure, marketing, etc.
  • Us: we need to build this too and your questions using our open source evolution of what he’s got (70% of it is there!) would make the open source creation better for everyone

The end result I see would be the best chicken tractor resource in the world. This would be good promotion for everyone and the industry as a whole. If John is looking for additional revenue, he could start an hourly-paid consulting service for people who would rather talk to someone than read it all on the internet. He could also produce a polished product to sell alongside the open source version - using all the marketing we’ll help create for him.

The web infrastructure (code) we write could be used by all of us on our sites too, not just ours.

Put this on the top of the list of stuff to talk about when we see each other. If you can run this idea by John before then, that’d be pretty amazing too.

PS: Added his link to our chickens page resources and promoted it across Facebook and Tsu too.
