[Ryan Price]

Cross-posted from FloridaCreatives.com/coworking (http://
floridacreatives.com/blogs/ryanprice/2010/04/28/whats-most-important-
feature-coworking-space):

From an old survey conducted by Tara Hunt (missrogue) on the global
Coworking mailing list (http://blog.coworking.info/2007/04/21/the-
results-of-the-coworking-survey/).

The order of importance of features in a space (rating out of 5)

Collaborative Environment

NOTE: For those setting up a space, think of creating a really great
atmosphere as the #1 thing to concentrate on. There is a great article
here on seriously great workspaces (http://positivesharing.com/
2006/10/10-seeeeeriously-cool-workplaces/). So, do you need art? Comfy
chairs? Plants? Rugs? Flowers? Games? Yep. In the end, EVERYTHING was
pretty important (nothing scored less than 50%), but Atmosphere and
Comunity Feeling blew the others away.

According to Tara, everything is important, because the all rated
above 2.5 (out of 5).

So, how can we help the people trying to set up coworking spaces?
