Hi all - I have a bit of a twist on this discussion because my time contribution to community work tends to have huge variations. I can, and have, worked a lot of hours on limited time projects (such as facilitating a series of meetings on a contentious issue, or serving on an ad hoc team carrying out design/planning/implementation for a drainage project). Between projects ("obsessions" is the word my daughter uses), I prefer to fall back to minimum contribution - taking my regular turn on the cooking team, showing up for the odd meeting or two, babysitting kids, sharing beer, hibernating. Also, because my job involves working on disaster recovery, I sometimes have time demands that shift my energy almost entirely out of the community. I really like what Rob and Tree said, partly because none of the workshare rules I've ever heard in the communities I live in (or see posted on this list) allow for real life variation over time in how people contribute. Most of the ones I've heard go along the XX hours/week or month line, when I may kick in 50 hours one month and 3 for the next two. Anybody else in this boat?
