Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Looking for examples of software coho use to manage community

[Maggi (librarymaggi]

designed by a neighbor and also marketed to other Cohousing communities. We
definitely benefit from having the designer on site. I like the system very
much. I think Tom Smyth is here on Cohousing-L as well.
