At Touchstone we use Gather (https://info.gather.coop) to run our work program. The work committee enters all the jobs and the system computes how many work hours per per person that works out to over the work period (4 months in our case). Folks can get accommodations/exemptions if needed. If it's too many, we cut or reduce some jobs. Then at an appointed time everyone goes in and picks what jobs they want for the period. It works amazingly well (of course I'm biased but feedback is generally quite positive). We have very high participation in our work program and it's a fundamental part of the community.
