What Is a Community Portal?
Who indeed is this page for? By the name I'm guessing the community of Waiheke. What should go on this page? I'm not sure but I'm hoping the community of Waiheke Island can tell me

Self Reliance Initiatives
By the time our supplies of cheap and abundant oil become expensive and scarce will we have made smooth transition to forms of society that allow us to meet our needs with grace and style?
There are a number of initiatives on this island already which acknowledge that Peak Oil, along with climate change, are issues that are likely to impact us in the near future, we are talking years, not decades. In a meeting held at the Palm Beach Hall on September 25th, 2007, people watched some video clips of Rob Hopkins speaking about Transition Towns. It seemed to the circle gathered there, that an inventory of these initiatives would be a useful thing to record.
An exciting development in the world of planning for a lower energy future is the Transition Towns movement - see www.transitiontowns.org.nz and in particular the Waiheke page of this site.
Deletion review
You've probably noticed me deleting outright spam and blocking the spammers. I regard these actions as uncontroversial, because the spam is entirely unrelated to Waiheke.
Today I made a more controversial deletion; of User:Koiroc, which was a user page advertising Waiheke accommodation. The user has made no other edits so far. I feel we don't have clear policies on what degree of advertising is acceptable on Waihekepedia, so I welcome feedback from the other admins on whether my deletion was appropriate. Other users probably can't see the text that I deleted, but I'd welcome feedback on the policy anyway.-Gadfium 18:36, 10 January 2008 (NZDT)
