So do these humanure sites include info about composting toilets? They are fantastic! They don't use any water, AND most importantly when used right they don't stink at all. :)

Wet manure (cow or human) stinks and contains dangerous infectious bacteria. Once its dry, though, it doesn't stink any more and the bacteria dies. So, as long as there is enough lag time, this can be done safely. IIRC, horse manure is much more nourishing than cow manure, which explains why there are a lot of mushroom farms in Amish country.
