@BrambleBearGrrrauwling Oh! I wish I had the executive function to answer that question.
Right now, I think we mostly need to gather. Gather people. Gather ideas. Gather resources.
If you have chuff to do some nerdy deep dive/explore feel free to drop things in #turtleBower as a gathering place. Or start another tag and I will boost whatever you create.
We need connection and curation.

Hey smart people! My wife and a number of our friends and I are working on a plan to "co-house/start a cult/live closely together" kind of thing. We're at the stage where we need to set up a system for sharing ideas and thinking through possibilities, discussion, sharing examples of housing arrangement models, etc. There are so many different aspects to figure out and just chatting on FB, e.g., isn't cutting it. Email, too, seems too cumbersome. So maybe a kind of online project development/management platform (I'm not a business kind of guy at all, so I don't know all the lingo). Something free, accessible to everyone and "user-friendly" in the extreme would be great.

I have my own domain and can install software there if there is something that's worth trying.

Any ideas? Have you done anything similar? What system(s) did you use? All thoughts welcome! Thanks! #projectManagement #cohousing #coopHousing #cohabitation #communityLedHousing

Communal cooking done right is something most of us don't know we're missing.

I have friends and family who live in a 6-story #cohousing development. Around 50 people in 30 units. Each apartment is complete but the kitchens are slightly smaller than typical.

Cohousing is mutual ownership of the building. About 20% of the building is common areas, like widened hallways with couches and bookshelves, or a games nook, music room, workshop, laundry, etc. It's basically a tall village, and they are like roommates with privacy.

The giant kitchen and dining room is used six nights a week. One person is chef with a small crew, and dinner is for around 30 people. It costs $5 CDN per meal, though if you raid the leftovers later it's pay what you want, usually $2.

The cooking volunteer roster is optional and organized by a Slack channel. Out of 50 people there are those who like to spend their duty time showing off culinary skills. Dinner is usually awesome and everyone wins.
