Curt, we should probably stay in touch. My Original Green initiative (http://www.originalgreen.org ) focuses on building the foundation of principles upon which Historic Green appears to be based (from my somewhat limited knowledge of what you do.) For example, anyone interested in the sustainable metrics of historic buildings should see this:

There's lots more in the blog that might interest you, of course. One other thing... I've been heavily involved with the New Urbanist Katrina work since the beginning, including the fact that Andrés Duany and I laid out the principles of the Katrina Cottages on the Saturday after the hurricane, and my New Urban Guild has helped foster the movement ever since.
Just FWIW...
