This is a new site,  barely a few weeks old.

Thankyou for joining the early testers/users who are using it in a soft way.

Over time we will become more confident, the menu items links would have settled well enough to invite more and more.

Help Us

Some will be quick to criticise while others will help us identify what is not working and maybe even make suggestions on how it could work better.

While we understand the former, we appreciate the latter more.

This is the Down To Earth way of sharing, teaching and learning from each other. 

Please use the chat to the bottom right hand corner or the contact form here to inform us of any problems/suggestions you have

Beginnings of an Instruction Manual 

Credentials - Understanding

• Guest - Passerby, someone who is viewing the site who is not a member or not registered
• Registered - You see everything other than what a member would see
• Member - You would see everything other than what specific volunteers would see (Members have their own sealed section so to speak)

This way we can provide the same front door and all users would see documentation according to their interaction with the co-operative

Forums - Understanding

• Guest - No Access
• Registered - You see everything other than what a member would see
• Member - You would see everything other than what specific volunteers would see (Members have their own sealed section so to speak)

Code of Conduct - The community will moderate the content, by entering into the forums you are acknowledging that you can be removed at any time. At all times be respectful. Links to appropriate online behaviour will be posted shortly. Should you not be happy with the conduct of the moderators or administrators of this site you agree to take this up with the Down To Earth complaints procedure.  We seek the same agreement from the moderators and administrators so fairs fair.

Google - Understanding

• The role of the google docs peppered throughout the site is because we are not sure what to put on the pages yet, we aren't even sure how the menus should finally look. This way everyone can contribute to the content, not just the coders
• In time the content will settle and we may switch them out for articles

Current known Issues

 * Maybe some broken links here and there, generally alls good at the moment
