Hi Chris, It depends on what you consider "internal membership software". If Drupal and G-Suite are in that category, then I expect there are a number of co-housing communities using generic software to share content with their members. When you first asked your question, I thought you were looking for software specializing in small-group membership management. We use a combination of G-Suite and Wordpress for sharing information among our membership, budgeting/accounting, expense/invoice tracking, marketing, decision tracking&minutes, calendaring/booking, intra-community communication, etc. But I wouldn't classify either G-Suite or Wordpress as something which is similar to Mosaic and Gather. We have needed to do a bunch of custom work on the G-Suite and Wordpress platforms to do what we need, and we're continuing to do that. So instead of being dependent on a small software business, we are dependent on the technical skills of our members. Having worked with Drupal in the past, I expect that's even more true for Arbco's use of Drupal, but that's just a guess. My understanding of Mosaic and Gather is that they are focused on the "small community" membership market, and are delivering a solution which can be operated by a community without the need for strong technical skills within the community.
