Cohousing-L Mailing List: Social Sweat Equity Registry

[Jasen Robillard (jasen]

I'm working with a group that is thinking of implementing a work share
system prior to move in. The general gist is that there would be a
voluntary 1-2% increase in unit prices that could be credited back to the
owner assuming they fulfill a minimum threshold of community valued work.
Any dollars not credited back to the owners would be place in the Reserve
Fund or some similar "'large project fund" of the community's choosing
(landscaping fund, solar panels, or extra contingency).

This early implementation would offer a smooth transition to a post move-in
Work Share Database.

I'm wondering if a) this has been done before; and b) whether there are
existing online work share systems that could be easily replicated for this
type of application.
