I'm sure the contact's relationship to "true" cohousing varies 
considerably.  Numerous entries are simply personal names -
which could mean there is only a person with interest or maybe
it's a "serious" core group that just can't agree on a name :) .

Of the  175 contacts 53 have a letter indicating that they are:
15 Umbrella groups
28 Community with controlled site or under construction
10 Completed or partially occupied community

That leaves about 125 of undefined relationship to cohousing.
But even those that are not solid cohousing contacts, can be
an initial local contact.

The statement on the front of the contact list reads:
We at the Cohousing Network gratefully acknowledge help from all our
Regional Editors and the Cohousing Company in the creation of this 
bi-annual list.

Does anyone know how this list compares with the list mentioned in 
Martin Tracy's April 5th message about the second edition of the 
Cohousing - the book?
