@ kilork: are you describing a group or sect bound together by veneration of the same thing, person, ideal, etc...? hmmmmmm.......

i am thinking of a loosely organized intentional neighborhood. i think the idea is more to help each other than to attach labels. the purpose would be to have enough 'help' at harvest, planting etc. times are going to get much tougher, if we can learn to band together and find real solutions that generate positive examples of peaceful communities we are serving others in the highest fashion. mho

anyone have specific ideas on how to do this? we are packed and waiting for a spot to start. lets brainstorm here and come up with a workable plan. for starters,
location?
next, is it prudent to make a list of particular personnel needs, like a teacher or doctor, farmer etc? does one 'order up' a successful community or just wait for it to happen?
how many people can a few acres support? what type of commerce works best? strictly barter or maybe a currency, seashells or walnuts? maybe pennies are the way to go.
i know there are some really smart people here, lets get this thing on the table and see where it takes us.
