Skillshare is the main part of the site, so it's already there! The toolshare was added in to augment it, so if you got someone with the skills to do the job but hadn't the tool, you could then look for someone with the tool also.

What would happen if Nature decided she was not going to give unconditionally anymore - only food for those who give back?? The apple tree doesn't ask whether you are willing or unwilling, deserving or undeserving. It just gives. I'm not saying its an easy thing to get over (distrust), but if...

I take all your points guys and thanks for your feedback. One of the problems however in this world of ours today is that we automatically distrust strangers before we trust them - the media has had a strong role to play in that. And so we have become more and more isolated from our local...

I understand you probably think it's advertising but the community is set up as a gift to society to help ease on impact on the environment. As it is a 'moneyless' community we do not recieve income of any kind - we refuse advertising, it's free for members and we won't even accept...
