We look for a volunteering team to develop a Time Bank as a
Facebook application. Wanted, experts in Java familiar with Facebook
applications deelopment. Payments will be in HOURS currency.
Google group available at https://groups.google.com/group/desperadostheory/ for
a start. Migration to GitHub https://github.com/ when main functions agreed.
Simple principles:
- Currency is the HOUR.
- Usage of Facebook profiles. Each profile shows the history
of all services done, the earnings and the total balance.
- Works classified using a simplified International Standard
Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/index.htm
- Wages of HOURS per hour of service: following the Manual on
the Measurement of Volunteer Work http://evmp.eu/wp-content/uploads/ILO_Manual_FINAL_English_1.4.2012.pdf
of the INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION, as proposed for Civic and Social
Organizations.
- Search function for service offerings. General purpose
messaging for service requests.
- Payments done as invoice from the service provider to the
service receiver. It includes date, comments, classification, wage and total.
Service receiver pays from his/her account total in HOURS.
- Maximum services hours that can be invoiced is 6 service hours per day.
- Uniform demourrage (depreciation) of all earnings over two years.
- Maximum total debt by a participant is 26 HOURS. Maximum
total debt of a participant towards another participant is 6 HOURS.
Technical constrains:
- Keep is simple. The application has maximum two different layout pages. One
for set up, one for operation.
- No central server should be required.
- Simple security settings. No major fraud prevention, all weight on fraud
detection, based on reciprocal notation of transactions.
