Community Weaver is built on an open source platform and there were many concerns in regards to security and confidentiality. As an administrator I found it complicated to have and find the Drupal knowledge and expertise needed to operate, make adaptations, and interact with our membership. It was a sharp looking program and not to challenging to learn to use from a member perspective. I was with community weaver first and invested a lot of my time and energy supporting its development and implementation.

"I have used both software programs community weaver and time and talents. Lisa Conlin Lewis, New HOPE Time Exchange, RI And as a coordinator, I can't sing enough the praises of Stephen Beckett, the architect for Time and Talents, for his technical prowess in offering new features that actually work and responsiveness to whatever questions or glitches we may have along the way." However, our members have found the Time and Talents user interface to be much more friendly than with Community Weaver. Lisa and Kim have considerably more experience with timebanking overall and the Community Weaver system, more specifically, since our Columbus timebank started only three years ago. So, you are wise to give it thoughtful consideration before leaping in.Įach of us started with Community Weaver then switched to Time and Talents at a later time. Which one you choose will make a significance difference in the 'touch and feel' you and other members of the timebank will have. While both have a similar purpose, each utilizes a different functional and user interface design. "First of all, welcome to timebanking! Lisa, Kim, and I have had experience with both systems: TimeBanks USA's Community Weaver and hOurworld ®'s Time and Talents. Steve Bosserman, Care and Share Time Bank I haven't been able to get as much work done as a did today. "I want you to know that I love the new system.

"Thank you for your service stephen! The improvements we have seen since using time and talents in St. I'm looking forward to building our exchange." "You're terrific! It is wonderful how transparent and accessible this feels already. "And thank YOU for your wonderful and efficient responsiveness to the great ideas, Stephen!" You are innovating in ways we've talked about and dreamed of - but couldn't manage because we feel so maxed out with our work and lives." This email spark a bright, inspired reaction from me - and I've forwarded it to the others in our leadership team. We only learned about your time bank software and organization about 6 weeks ago and have been sort of quietly wondering about it. I am/we are so appreciative by how welcome and easy it is to give our feedback to help make these applications as good as can be." We here are all thrilled that it exists and I do my best to remind members that it's new and is a work in progress. "Thanks for passing along our feedback to the app developer. Margaret Soulstein, Tompkins Time Traders

How wonderful it is to be part of world-wide TimeBanking as hOurworld ® is doing it." "My God, Stephen: TnT just keeps getting better and better. In light of our recent experience of our fiscal sponsorship relationship blowing-up, it warms my heart to see relationship success in action." I'm inspired to see the hOurworld ® team working with the TBUSA team. "I want to thank you and your team for all of the hard work you have been doing to make our software better. TnT just keeps getting better and better. "Congratulations for hitting over a million exchanges and managing 225 communities through hOurworld!! It has helped our Timebank to grow so quickly."Ĭynthia Harwood, Executive Coordinator, Time Bank of the Rockies

"Just to say thank you for arranging for us to go on to this. hOurworld ® really helps the time banking world grow!" It is a superior way to deal with software for time banks by using time bank coordinators as partners in building the software. That all new features are set up as choices to use- you like it, use it, if you don't like it, don't turn the feature on- is so smart, because all time banks have different needs. The organic way that they work on the software by taking suggestions from coordinators and how it is a constantly growing, evolving tool is fantastic. "I have loved working with hOurworld ® and their Time Banking software, Time and Talents.
