The advertiser must tell the mediator what is the method in which they want to be contacted, and the mediator have each of the specific contact methods in their own private agenda. Ex:
The advertiser 1234 asks to call 67984XXXX and pass it to the interested party
The advertiser 4321 asks to give her his facebook address if she is a woman, or that the applicant leaves his phone number if he is a man, etc.
COMMUNITTY
COLLECTIVITY
The collectivity thing offers the possibility that people can give gifts and loans to the community, and without publishing their contact information. The community should specify what it is going to do with the donated, especially if it would provide the donated or, more generally, how the common benefits are donated.
Warehouse and collection
If the thing has a warehouse, so the users could give it away, lend and exchange more easily. The store should have hours of overture to the public or associates, where they can offer a collection service in the same warehouse, which could even be complemented with the home donation collection service.
The storekeeper can give everything without asking who asks for it to exchange some abundant for some scarce and only lend if the resource is scarce.
You can also not ask an exchange to a person in need, or ask him to do some easy task as an exchange.
Meet ups
The face-to-face meetings can be from simple informal meetings or marketing to more complex days of community development or a common project. in particular of a member. For the development meetings, it is necessary to have clear the tasks to be carried out, and the resources available to carry them out. From who or how you are going to eat that day, even if there is some possibility of rent for work done.
