community weaver development

The ability for members of one TimeBank to trade services directly with a member of another TimeBank is desired by some in the TimeBanking community.

The technical challenges of intertrading are the different software platforms and different service descriptions (taxonomy) in use between TimeBanks, including TimeBanks using the same S/W platform. For example, Community Weaver (TimeBanks USA) and Time & Talents (hOurworld) are based on different S/W, different database structures, and use different service category naming conventions.

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.
