I understand that the transition town movement is broadly supportive of complementary currencies such as LETS and timebanks.
I'm building complementary currency package for Drupal 6 and I need an expert to give me pointers. Later I'll be looking for people to write documentation, and package it and trial it and help the first communities get on board.

Depending on how far you've got, you might be interested in looking at www.community-exchange.org an existing complementary currency software solution which already incorporates 90 groups in 13 countries. Anyone can apply to have their existing LETS group added to this network, or to start a new group using the software.
Thanks Dawn, I talked to community exchange.org a couple of years ago and while they were happy for schemes to join and play by their rules, they weren't giving away any software. It's not clear to me from the site at the moment if they have changed their stance.
I'm about to launch an alpha of the drupal modules and I'd really like to see transition towns benefitting from Drupal and open source ethics. There is still room to change the scope and add features. What's needed next is a community to trial the software!

Hi there.
I'm a software developer keen on open source software and economics. I've bookmarked your proposal and look forward to reading it!
