Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Meal Tracking Programs

[Malcolm Eva (malcolm]

What do you mean by a mealtracking system?  Is that to do with dates of meals, 
or menus or people who want to pay and eat?  At Springhill we use a paper sign 
up sheet on the notice board outside the kitchen, along with the cooking rota 
for the term, and list of menus for each meal for the term.  Several people are 
involved in that - one for signing up and paying, one for preparing the rota 
each term and a team who agree the menus.  It actually works very smoothly.

We used to have a wiki, but it was abandoned as only one or two people ever 
logged into it.  We have a public website with history, notice of properties 
for sale, photos and one or two policies, such as pets, but everything else is 
done by internal emails - one list for business that all owners need to be 
aware of, one for residents to do with issues around living here, publishing 
meeting agendas and minutes and discussing issues,  and a general chat list for 
personal announcements, jokes, publicising events outside Springhill, political 
rants etc.  I have no idea how many people in the world at large access our 
website.
