I started using Wordpress two years ago and have transitioned my community's websites, public and private. I'm the only person in my community who knows WordPress although there are several people with enough website and programming experience to learn it quickly. The community as a whole would feel much better about using WordPress if they knew there were other cohousing webmasters who could help them manage the site in an emergency — like if I walk in front of a truck (sort of possible) or go catatonic (totally possible). We have a guest room calendar designed in 3-4 different languages by a resident who left years ago and we just pray that it doesn't break. It's uglier than sin and has misspelled words but we don't dare touch the files. We still "researve" rooms. So I set up a YahooGroup for webmasters in cohousing and other residential communities using Wordpress and other open source programs — I know some use Drupal. I thought a support group would benefit everyone both learning the programs and hearing new ideas. I'm sort of beginning to learn Drupal because the TimeBank USA's tracking program, Community Weaver, is now on Drupal and available for hosting on your own website. I'm thinking again of trying to use it for workshare.
