Another community I belong to, Drupal, had a blank one-screen site for
a long time at Drupal.com (they use drupal.org day-to-day) - now they
have something much more useful. I think it makes a good example.

What is Drupal? different things to different people
Who is Drupal? a few non-verbal profiles of community members,
personalities
Where is Drupal? fun examples of drupal devotion and major events
It's the story of Drupal, not some definition.

Steven, I like you wonder why the urgency of the sell/buy on the
website name and who the other "almost" purchaser was/is? I am
thrilled to get caught up today on the collaboration taking place to
solidify the collective group of coworkers. Our local coworking
community is slowly growing and building awareness in the Chattanooga,
TN business community. We're holding bi-weekly Jelly! Chattanooga
events that are also growing in attendance. We are very interested in
networking with more coworking communities and collaborating to
promote coworking to the general working public.
Alex, we appreciate your rally on this. Each coworking community is
unique in its member demographics and ability to "instantaneously"
raise funds. This line of thought brought up by Danielle Nicoli shines
some interesting issues to consider as we push forward toward a more
"common ground" for coworking communities.
I think these issues should be brought up at SXSW. Forgive me, but is
anyone going to stream online any of the coworking "discussion." I
would be v-e-r-y interested along with the other coworking communities
to participate in the "conversation." With all the geeks among us I
would hope this would be possible....dreaming of being there.
At your service,

Last point I have been pondering.... who is this group that wanted
to come> in and make this buy? Why did they want it and why now?
What was the
urgency?
'We' had 3 days to decide if we could make an offer and buy this
name. Alex
emailed about a dozen people which resulted in enough interest to
1, fund a
good hunk of the price and 2, allow a public post to secure the
rest of the
monies.
No one, and I mean no one, expected this money to be agreed and 70%
collected in 36 hours!
The initial off list discussions resulted in messages about 'legal
entity'
and 'value for money' and 'what the heck, better than some sleaze
ball
having it'.
Once it was decided to go after this name we (really Alex) had
little time
to lose to get the pledges, put the offer in and then secure funds.
I think the reason it worked is that we believe in the 'cause' and
each
could afford a share of the funds to secure the domain name. Alex
had the
idea, bunch of us agreed with him, agreed to support him in the
approach and
here we are!
