Hello all, My name is Kevin Jones and I am the coordinator of the new Capital Region Timebanks. (http://CapitalRegion.timebanks.org)

Timebanking is a world wide practice of awarding exchangeable credit to individuals for time that they spend in the interest of others instead of self. Simply put, Volunteering an hour of your time to help another is awarded with an exchangeable credit that can then be awarded to another through direct exchange for a service that they provide to you.

There is a clear, clear need for a certain kind of community web application, but so far, it hasn't been well articulated. Because the communities that need it aren't investing in web technologies, for various reason, the commercial sphere isn't addressing this need at all.

The needs this group is trying to address are in no way specific to transition towns.

Time Bank is an all-embracing and flexible package which includes a mutual credit engine, transaction forms and displays, including several views and blocks. If you viewed weaver-demo it is pretty much the exact functionality
