One of the ideas which came out of the brainstorm for the Cohousing 
Information Network is a series of summaries/ book reports of a number 
of different studies, thesis, and other such weighty information 
sources, all categorized by subject.  I would really like to encourage 
folks if you find some good stuff to consider creating a couple page 
summary (most thesis do this as a matter of course) - with a complete 
bibliographic reference to the source, and posting that to this list or 
to me for inclusion in the upcoming Cohousing Web Pages and Cohousing 
Resource Guide.  Finding, summarizing and sharing information is really 
great, and soon we will have a way to do this online.
