Odd. I haven't heard anything about egos. I just want to be sensitive to everyone's needs here. And I want to make sure this is done right (I'm certainly not upset - just very cautious about moving forward with this). Anyone who wants to work on this project and would like admin rights on the blog, where you can change the landing page to a blurb about coworking or a map or anything you'd like as well as add all of the pages that have been suggested, I'll upgrade you on the blog to Administrator. I don't have time to do this right now myself, but I wrote all of the content you specified on the wiki about a year ago.
One issue... "Is coworking in your area?" suggestion of a feed from the wiki just doesn't work - with wiki spam and so many spaces in progress, we've been using the Google Map (it's already in the sidebar) that everyone and anyone can add to (also an issue 'cause there are alot of non-coworking spaces on there - who is gonna manage THAT nightmare? I tried for a spell then lost track). I've been adding the spaces to the sidebar as people request or announce on the group manually - but that doesn't work well, either. Lemme tell you. This is a bit of a mess, but a beautiful one. There are ALOT of spammers that attack the blog, wiki and google group - and human spammers, too, who want to promote their expensive execu-offices that don't quite fit in the 'cafe like environment' we envisioned. So, part of not making this super easy has been a nice trick to keep these interests at bay... Anyway. Unless people are reading into what I wrote before, there is no ego stuff here (this is what I hate about email - jokes don't come off as jokes and you don't hear the caution rather than the pissed-off-ed-ness in my voice), but to tell ya the truth, the ego comments do bruise my ego. ;) (that was a joke dammit) But caution. That I am definitely feeling here. Cleaning things up and making static or automatically updating pages create administrative additions I've tried to avoid from the get-go. Just a caution...
