The Goingtoseed wishlist thread

Thank you @KadenceLunemann!
I have so many wishes on my wishlist. I’ll start with one that we talked about during the Happy Hour. This crop wiki project. Share your knowledge: Contribute to the "Crop Wiki" project!

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to have a basic growing guide, Adaptation Gardening style, for all the crops you can think of, but especially the ones in offered in the GTS seed project? Basic stuff for new seed savers (or just new- to it) like at-a-glance outcrossing rates, what’s in the species/what crosses, considerations (like sweet corn not including super sweet genes and how I figure that out on the seed packet). And recipes. Photos. Even center of origin/history of the species domestication (replace the heirloom story).

It’s a big project, and we can turn it into our open source book. But first of all, let me know how can we adjust the contribution process to motivate peope— what would make you want to contribute? @ercgrat has done a great job getting started and now we need you to make it happen! And @markwkidd especially need your wiki expertise. We could use the wiki function here on Discourse pages to let people/edit correct/update…
