Also, being able to tag yourself - as an organizer, a casual
participant, or someone who just likes to be social. I think folks on
the list often fall into the catalyst/organizer/thought leader realm,
but there are a lot more people out there who just want these spaces
to exist so they can get to work in the right environment.
Also, is there a "Coworking Planet" right now? Sometimes watching an
aggregated feed is much easier than maintaining your own list of
blogs. How about http://friendfeed.com/rooms/coworking for a start?
If there's going to be some sort of an IRC brainstorm or Skype chat I
can sit in on for the coworking site, please put me on that short
list. I would be overjoyed to be a part of such a noble project as
selling the world on coworking and connecting people who want to work
together.
Peace,

Sorry to jump the gun, but Tara's whiteboard excited a part of my
brain that tends to run away with those solutions.
I just want to list my support, and for what it's worth, my time.
Peace,
Ryan
What I won't let this becomes is a design-by-committee project. That's the biggest scare of approaching this project when the community has grown to this size. If anyone has suggestions for how to approach THAT issue, I'm open minded.
So happy to have you onboard! To paraphrase what everyone has said in
my words, the first trick is drilling down to the core need, and
finding a solution that serves that specifically. Take the visa
program for example. There are LOTS of things we COULD do and the
discussion quickly turned into grand ideas like a unified member
database and billing system... With a group this large and disparate
that's a recipe for project crib-death. In the end, a simple list of
participating spaces is all we needed. Once we've figured out WHAT we
are building then we can try and work on WHO is going to build it, and
HOW it will be maintained over time. We are awash in amazing,
talented people so I'm confident we can make this happen.

P.S. Your space looks great and thank you for inviting me to the news interview.
