About 10+ years ago a Massachusetts architect in cohousing, Bruce
Coldham, used to facilitate a forming group workshop called the
Timeline Game. During the workshop, a new forming group would learn
about the multitude of steps necessary to get from initial interest
in living in cohousing to move-in and the interrelationship of all
those steps. Each step was on an index card. On a very long table
the group would place the index cards in a timeline showing the order
and relationship of all the development steps.
I found the workshop to be so useful when our group was forming that I worked with Bruce to package the Timeline Game with detailed instructions so a group could run the workshop themselves without Bruce there. It was sold in that form for several years and then there was some talk about making it freely available on the web. If I remember correctly, the Cohousing Network (now Coho/US) wanted instead to continue to make it a money maker and were going to market and distribute it. I don't think they ever did anything with it, but maybe they did.
Does anyone with Coho/US know what ever became of the Timeline Game?

My idea is that we can aim for thesewaypoints and we can also ask for increasing levels of commitment as weapproach and pass them. Some of the waypoints I imagine include: Opt In Verification of Financial Capability Acquisition of Property Design Hiring of contractor Construction Move inIf anyone can help me identify more, and/or put them in the best order,I'd be very grateful.
