Pablo made several good points about division of labor and accomodating peoples life. I would only add that the size of the community really impacts the amount of labor per person. A small, 15 person group is going to need more energy per individual, than a 40 person group. At Sharingwood I have noticed that there is a "critical mass" required to accomplish certain things. If only one person wants to do something, it may languish, if 3-4 people put energy into something, it usually happens. Case in point, a couple of us talked about making beer, finally 3 of us (now 4) got together and started doing so. I would not have succeeded on my own (not that our beer is any great success, but hey...it's beer!) In a group of 15, the critical mass of energy might not ever get reached for many projects due to the higher energy requirements just to deal with the basics. Rob Sandelin Sharingwood
