Mike,

I'm not sure exactly what you're suggesting.  Anyone is, of course, welcome
to participate on this list.  Right?  If you're talking about expanding the
scope of this list to include topics not directly relevant to cohousing, I
wouldn't support that.  But if you're talking about getting other
communitarians insights into conflict resolution, community building,
facilitation, etc., I think that would be fantastic.

I'm not sure that there are too many topics relevant to other intentional
communities, but not relevant to cohousing.  I suspect there are at least
some (managing the community's for-profit business, for example).
