It is a good idea, just wanted to mention another who is going for the same goal, Nadar Khalili. He has developed 2 methods of construction, a superadobe (sandbags with barbwire between them) that can be stacked to form domes, as well as Geltaftan which is a fired structure. The entire house is built from adobe blocks (if you have clay you can prepair adobe blocks on your own land) then fired as you would a kiln. The result is an extremly resistant structure, once a exterior finish has been applied (or fire blankets used to make the exterior bake too) you have a very strong structure that can last potentially longer than existing adobe structures some of which have lasted 1000+ years. His website is http://www.calearth.org/
Anyway thats my two cents. :-)
