Hello All;

We are just starting the process of trying to find ourselves a developer
(who hopefully has enough cash to help us bankroll our project.)  Does
anyone know of any developer-specific information (eg not just general
cohousing info) that we might be able to provide to prospective developers
to help them better understand what they are getting into?

I was wondering if anything had come out of the recent Developers
Gathering (was it in Colorado?) or if members of that group would be
willing to chat to potential developers to assure them that getting
involved in a project like this can actually work.  Even if somebody could
point me in the direction of information that shows that there is a group
of developers in this business it would probably make the whole thing look
more realistic.

Thanks in advance
