Money is something so essential and central to our civilisation, yet almost nobody ever makes the effort to find out how it really works. When talking about the money system, I don't mean to talk about budgeting or investments or what we use money for. Of course money can be used for good, and often is. What I mean i… Continue

You've set up a group for HoutBay. Inside that group is an INVITE button. You can invite as many people into HoutBay as you want. the group has its own identity, mailing list, and discussions. It's done on Ning. I want to be very clear that this is NOT trading as you find it on CES. It's a place for discussion, working thru community issues, planning events, and otherwise sharing among your users. Of course, all other communities can also have a group. In the end, we get groups collaborating with groups.
If you are working with Transition, take a look at http://transitioncolorado.ning.com -- a site I've coached into existence here in my neighborhood. Also http://nztransitiontowns.ning.com/
Does that address your questions?
