Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Mosaic and Gather

[Chris Hansen (itschrishansen]

thanks for this post Sharon
I am the manager of our mosaic-based platform
Im not aware that I’ve been invited a mangers circle- would welcome the
opportunity and would happily participate- I have a number of key questions
too.
I’ve just run a forum for the whole community on using it- if I knew there
was such a group I’d have asked for help and suggestions. I didn’t want to
bother Sean
