Features

The software comes from the LETS movement, so the features and the user story are about creating realworld interactions between the users. So there is
offers and wants, with a powerful category system, and
accounting, using a virtual currency which you design.

To set up a social currency entails a significant work of dynamization, as it would only work if there is enough people and products for trading (critical mass). It is important that, at first, the software is not burdensome. Community Forge provides a tool, the accounting module for Drupal, which can create a social currency or bank time easily, quickly and for free. They can even host it for you, so you don’t have to worry about the server. It is fully scalable, so you can change the design or add functionality, as the community starts generating resources to invest in the program. The program is created by professional volunteers willing to provide this service to help communities tap their own abundance. They live on donations and are also willing to provide consulting or additional developments you may need at a reasonable cost.
