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:

  1. Currency is the HOUR.
  2. Usage of Facebook profiles. Each profile shows the history of all services done, the earnings and the total balance.
  3. Works classified using a simplified International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) http://www.ilo.org/public/english/bureau/stat/isco/index.htm
  4. 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.
  5. Search function for service offerings. General purpose messaging for service requests.
  6. 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.
  7. Maximum services hours that can be invoiced is 6 service hours per day.
  8. Uniform demourrage (depreciation) of all earnings over two years.
  9. 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.
