P5Y.org Website Help

Creating a new and innovative website to handle peace in five years and give you all the tools and the power you need to to create world peace is not an easy task, especially with a tight deadline.

But since P:5Y is about commitment to a specific deadline, who are we to complain?

We look forward to the time when we'll be looking back at this original sticky posting and recognizing how much we did build and how far we progressed from our humble beginnings.

But now is not the time to look back. We have a peace deadline before us of five years, and we'd like to acquaint you with the website. (We will be adding to this description as the site develops.)
