This group is dedicated to Drupal-based time banking software, including Community Weaver and the Time Machine installation profile, and to discussing practices for using Drupal to manage time dollars or time credits.

Barn Raising and Code Sprint for the Echo Park and Arroyo S.E.C.O. Time Banks at Droplabs on June 15 & 16, 2012
Join us at Droplabs on Friday & Saturday, June 15-16, 2012, for a Barn Raising and Code Sprint to benefit the Echo Park Time Bank and TimeBanks USA!
There's something for everyone at this two-day event and you're welcome to attend either or both days. If you're interested in learning more about Drupal and getting some practical hands-on experience, or if you're a Drupal power user and would like to help mentor others into using Drupal's best practices for site development, this is an excellent opportunity.
The Echo Park Time Bank is a non-profit community collective with a mission to facilitate the cooperative exchange of goods and services among its hundreds of members. Since September 2011, the Echo Park Time Bank has been using Drupal to manage their community website at http://arroyoseco.timebanks.org and its currency system.
At this barn raising, we'll be improving the online membership application and implementing a realname policy for usernames. The work we do will be shared with TimeBanks USA, which will directly benefit the 300+ time banks that have their own sites that use the same Drupal distribution.
This is our second barn raising for the time bank and directly builds upon the work we completed last time. See http://ex.tl/ZTT for more information about our last barn raising and code sprint.

At the risk of putting this in the wrong place, I'd like to know if any one can point me to how I can alter standard "create content" forms. I've been stymied for a couple of months trying to do this to test some ideas for a community portal that provides mutual credit services. Thanks.

Using Drupal Commons distribution as a foundation
Hello everybody.
This is in some way call to arms! ;)
I would like to suggest CSA, Transition towns and other real-world communities and individuals to join forces and resources and help Acquia to build one community Drupal distribution to rule them all. :)

TimeBanking in the News
TimeBanking has become a hot topic in North America this month (February 2012). Two recent events have triggered tremendous responses from people wanting to join a TimeBank or start a new one. TimeBanks USA has been overwhelmed with inquiries from people who want to know more about starting their own neighborhood TimeBanks.
AARP Magazine featured an article at the beginning of the month that discussed TimeBanking. You can read it here: http://www.aarp.org/money/budgeting-saving/info-02-2012/time-banking.html
Read moreBuilding Human Resource Development functionality into timebank.
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.
