Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cooking rota software

[KAREN A CARLSON (kcarlson2]

Our group uses physical sign up as well as on-line. Diners can also sign up via 
email to head cook.  Not as efficient as a single method but the idea is to 
have as many diners as possible. The cooks know to check various methods of 
sign up.
