Cohousing-L Mailing List: Workshare

[Ann Zabaldo (zabaldo]

Hi all!

How is it that in some communities workshare runs relatively smoothly  
while in others it's an onerous bone of contention w/ some people  
doing most of the work, others doing some and a few doing none?

Do "play or pay" systems work any better than volunteer systems?

How do you get the work done in your community?

At the upcoming conference on Sat., March 20th Cohousing:  Growing  
Smart Communities, this is just one of the topics facing cohousing  
communities that will be discussed.   There will be a formal workshop  
led by Kevin Oliveau, Catoctin Creek (play or pay system) and Brigitte  
Wazana Blueberry Hill (voluntary system).

AND there's this great opportunity for even more intensive discussion  
on effective workshare practices through the Free Form part of the  
conference.  What effective workshare practices does your community  
have to offer?  Where do you need help?  This is the place to air  
needs and find effective solutions.  Anyone can apply to convene a  
session in the Free Form part of the conference.
