[p2p-research] Drupal project for Complementary Currencies

[Chris Watkins]

FYI: a Drupal project for Complementary
Currencies<http://drupal.org/project/marketplace>


Perhaps because community currencies can undermine traditional power
> structures, governments and foundations have rarely invested in them.
> Consequenntly most schemes still rely on paper or spreadsheets; they do not
> scale well and young people can't be bothered with bits of paper any more.
>
> This is an all_embracing and flexible package which goes the extra mile for
> you. The main module is transactions, which provides a payment form and a
> transaction contentType and exposure to views. There are many several views,
> blocks, actions, etc. Then there are supporting modules such as the
> offers/wants directory (a simple classified ads<http://drupal.org/project/ed_classified>module), a contentType for acknowledging community participation (comparable
> to Kudos <http://drupal.org/project/kudos>) import tools, and more. See
> here for a template custom module<http://marketplace.matslats.net/installing>
> .
> Note the module is 'dev' It has been implemented (see below), but a few
> more features are needed to make version 1 widely useful.
>
> There is some overlap between this project and userpoints but marketplace
> is much more specific in its intent. This is not a shop, cart, or ecommerce
> system. It is aimed primarily at classical LETS schemes, but by tweaking a
> very few parameters, I believe it can be used for similar currency
> mechanisms such as timebanks. This module is under active development.
