I am admin of the Occupy Wall Street Timebank and have wanted to use it for a project management experiment - applying HRD training and development for participating members, specifically to help Occupiers establish themselves through their timebank work profiles to be eligible for available housing.
Since Human Resource Development (HRD) is a system of scaled measurements - helping people and organizations to get from where they are to where they want to be, I wonder if how complex it would be to build in some of this functionality to a Community Weaver Timebank system.

HRD Development
Hi Jill,
Have you looked into CiviCRM? This can be integrated with CW2 and effectively expands CW2 capabilities in the area you are talking about. CiviCRM has several different modules such as CiviCase, CiviMember, CiviCampaign, CiviEvent, and others that form an integrated system with CW2. You can learn more here: http://civicrm.org/aboutcivicrm
Best regards,

Human Resources?
It would be great to have more project management capabilities built into Community Weaver 2.0. CiviCRM looks great to me. I'd like to be able to do everything in one spot. I use constant contact, several list serves, central desktop, google docs, wordpress, etc. Too many passwords and interfaces to keep track of. If it's easy to use CiviCRM it would be great.
Not clear on what you mean by "Human Resources". Our Time Bank handles a lot of that analog on the ground. We are forming a mediation committee to handle conflicts case by case and face to face.
