I would be interested in working with others to design a website for collecting and sharing cohousing recipes. I'd be happy to also build the site and host it for free. It would be great if one or more people wanted to be admins for the site (no tech skills required). I was also thinking that such a site could be expanded to include repositories of cohousing documents such as by-laws, cc&r's, process manuals, policies, committee mandates, etc. There may already be something like this, so please let me know if there is. It's a common request from folks who are starting new communities to see what other communities have done. It could also be a resource for existing communities facing new issues or just looking for new ideas. sean > Has anyone created a Cohousing cookbook? > some say - don't re-invent the wheel... > As I am preparing for the second dinner meeting of the Twin Cities > Cohousing Network, I thought, "Hasn't anyone made a cohousing cookbook?
