The community thing itself is something I have been pondering for a long time, including wondering if I could do the whole "back to nature" thing. I probably have a larger list of conveniences (having just come back from a week camping there are some things I know I want), but there is a lot that could be made to be self sustaining, especially heating and cooling, and other energy drains.
Doing it as an education thing would be interesting. Hey, wonder if there is anyplace that gives grants for this type of thing?
Period accents and other pretensions to being "authentic" that do not contribute to self-sustaining living do not interest me. After doing Faire for over 13 years, I still do not feel the need to use an accent most of the time while there. The Dragonvale site links to a site that sells Amish built sheds, so they probably have looked into other other resources.
The whole idea of opening it up to the public is a whole new idea for me, which is what I found so interesting about Dragonvale.
