I must say that you idea really sounds interesting. I have been watching
for this kind of thing because it is very clear we need forms of community
that preceed actual live-in situations, forms that are less tedious and
more rewarding, that can bridge between projects, that can make a home-like
situation when the house is not yet built.

Do we want to make a life together? If we do, then we will find a way.

Your rules (definition) look very practical. I like the idea of not
expecting too many people or too much time from a dinner. As you say, an
individual need not take any longer than normal on a busy day. That is a
key point.

You are making community possilbe by creating a practical form!
