I'm sorry I missed this discussion, as I kept hearing after-echoes from it all 
conference.  Is this intended to be a paper thing or an electronic thing?  If 
electronic, what format are you thinking of?

As you know there are now two electronic resources on the net.  One is the 
archives of the cohousing-l, and the other is the Web pages I put together 
(http://everest.cs.ucdavis.edu/~stanifor/cohousing.html, or send email to 
coho-request [at] helvellyn.cs.ucdavis.edu with Subject: help ).  In there is 
the 
current version of Rob's guide, amongst a number of things, some useful, some 
merely promising.

There is already a little duplication of effort between these resources, but 
not too much as historically there has been nothing on the archives besides all 
our communications here saved for eternity.  (Currently there is a copy of the 
resource guide there though).

So, what are you guys envisaging, and how do we all fit together?

Stuart.
