Chris,
I don't know what you are asking for. Or more accurately, this is a
huge question.
I assume you've read the cohousing books?
So beyond that, what are the holes you are looking to fill?

You've listed so many things I don't know where to start.
For example: I can't in one email, or in three, cover answer to
process policies, community formation, and construction supervision.
