Co-housing vs. Housing cooperative

I heard someone at Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco WikiWomen's Edit-a-Thon 5 last Saturday. Was that you? (If no, do you have any idea who it was?) I've done some research on housing cooperatives, and I'd be interested in learning more. DavidMCEddy (talk) 17:02, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You found the right person! It was me, David. --Nplanchon (talk) 23:33, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nplanchon, we look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. Here's the link to our Week 3 class page and to the live webinar.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not in the USA, please double-check the class time. We have gone on Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) in the USA, so for some of you the class time will be an hour earlier. (If your country goes on Summer Time in the coming weeks, you will want to check again!)

This week we are going to start off with some basic review of all we've covered. So if you've been feeling behind or confused by all the details, we'll make sure we've got your questions answered before forging ahead! See you soon, -Pete (talk) 16:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
