Hello Alex, I am new to this discussion, however, I have read through the previous posts, your blog posts on the pledge, and visited the site. I think that the reason you don't have as many pledges as before because it is unclear exactly what we are pledging for. Since the domain has already been purchased (correct?), there is no consequence to not pledging and no clear reward for actually pledging (other than "being a part" of it all).
Also, I am still not clear what the domain will be used for. The wiki is very disorganized and missing much information. The google group is great, but really targeted for the people behind the idea. What I think we need is a place for people looking to be clients/members of co-working spaces. (I know I am new and may stir up things that were already discussed and decided, sorry). It is great that we are connecting the word "coworking" to the idea. But I think we need something more. Just my opinion. Also, I would pledge if I wasn't out of work and cutting back on everything. If I get a job before the close, I will pridefully submit my pledge. (Anyone looking for IT support/ consulting, let me know!) Thanks for reading, -- ~Andrew Roth B.S.
