BACE Timebank Launches Beta – Seeks Users
DEAR BETA TESTER,
If you are reading this, you were probably invited to help test the Bay Area Community Exchange (BACE) Time Bank.
By joining the project as this stage, you will help us develop this Time Bank (mutual credit trading system ) and make it a truly functional method of getting our personal needs met without using national currency. This includes providing feedback on the user interface, making feature suggestions, pointing out flaws or bugs, and thoroughly participating. You’re responsible for actually using the system as much as possible by diving in and trading with other beta testers with real hours doing real things for each other. The credits you earn in the system now will still be yours once the system is opened up beyond beta testing (that means everyone else you know!). If you can not commit to actively using the system and giving us feedback now, you are welcome to wait and join during the general launch. We will keep you in our database and send you an email when the Time Bank is open to everyone.
Please visit the website and look around. There is an “Online Orientation” that you can browse before setting up a user account that explains “Member Guidelines” and the Frequently Asked Questions.
http://timebank.sfbace.orgIf you encounter difficulties or confusion, please email us timebankinfo (at) sfbace (dot) org. We look forward to growing this new community resource with your feedback and active participation.
Welcome!
The BACE Community
