Cohousing-L Mailing List: recognizing time versus financial investment in early days

[Michelle Keiserman (msmakman1]

We are a group of five enthusiastic households who want to bring cohousing
to Nevada.  Four of us are investing both the time and money ($2500 each so
far) for initial marketing to attract more members.  One individual has
invested that amount but does not have the time to dig in and help us get
the work done.  While we recognize the value each of us brings to this
effort, we are wondering if other communities have accounted in some way
for the time/effort invested in the early days.  We are familiar with the
benefits of making an early financial commitment, but what if you've made
both and some other members cannot?

Your pearls of wisdom on this issue will be most appreciated!
