M3, it is surprising how much you can fit in 150 000 words. 
Ah yes Nev, is there an article in one of the grassroots magazines you gave me about looms?

Can't remember mate, they do show up regularly. I haven't written anything on looms as I consider myself a loom novice

I too would be very interested in plans to make a simple loom that I could use to make such things as rag rugs and dog sleeping mats. If I could also find someone who makes them at a reasonable price, I'd be even happier. (I must find something to do with all those old curtains and scraps of fabric I have lurking up in the attic!)
Braided Rugs

In addition to the various way of making rag rugs, I would like to know how to make braided rugs as a way to recycle fabric.

I would like to see an intro to the Selfsufficientishers that are still around from the beginning...
Shirlz, Nev, Muddy, M3, Gunners, Is Ina still around? Have probably missed important folk, but others can add suggestions if I have.
An opening feature introducing and thanking the foundation members who have built this site and contributed all the great ideas... maybe a peek into their gardens or something they enjoy in their lifestyles.. I think it would help to encourage personal advances and make the book a bit more real, as opposed to just another how-to.
There would be no bible, if it weren't for the disciples... that's right innit Nev?
