[edit] Limitations

Some attention should be given to the limitations of a time-based currency- this article strikes me as an excessively positive look at what is essentially a limited tool, and not really of full utility as a unit of exchange facilitating the transfer of goods and services. -Toptomcat 02:31, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Changes

Over the course of the next couple of weeks I will undertake to edit this page drawing on the experience I have working with Time Banks (the non-profit organization). My intention is not to change the page into an advertisement for Time Banks--as it seems to have been in the past--but to draw attention to some of the philosophical issues surrounding Time-based currency while providing case studies drawn from the various implementations of Time Banking in the U.S. The page currently strikes me as a somewhat dumbed-down treatment of the subject, one of the outcomes of which is the "excessively positive outlook" mentioned above.
