Not yet, but there will be. We'll make a spot when we get back from Austin. Keep an eye on the site and on our twitter feed (coworkingwiki).

Thank you for the positive feedback and a very big thank you to Andrew Cole, Jessie Rymph, and Kaan Aksay for donating on the first day! This is only the beginning and we have a long way to go. The first step was the big announcement yesterday. Next we'll be heading down to Austin and talking up a storm at the conference. By next Monday we'll be back home and we'll be digging in and getting to work. We've set a deadline of April 1st to raise the funds needed to do this project. I know there are a lot of questions, and I look forward to connecting with each of you and discussing this further. >> One of the biggest questions is: "How is this different then the coworking.com project from last fall, the coworking registry, the coworkingdb, the coworkign library, etc.?" The thing is, it's not! This is all those projects wrapped up into one cohesive plan/timeline/budget. I've learned a lot over the past few years working on each of these projects and they have all lead us here. >> If you haven't watched the video yet, please do. It explains everything. I'm excited to talk about this more down in Austin! >> See you soon, >> Jacob >> >> --- >> Office Nomads - Individuality without Isolation >> http://www.officenomads.com - (206) 323-6500 >> >> >> On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 10:46 AM, Jacob Sayles <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> The Coworking Wiki Upgrade Project >>> >>> <http://pearl.local/~jacob/opencoworking/coworkingwiki/img/video2.png> >>> >>> Hello, >>> >>> I'm excited to announce a big initiative to clean up, revamp, upgrade, organize, structure, and just generally over-all improve the coworking wiki. I've had many conversations with many individuals over the years and I've coalesced everything into a comprehensive plan. When we got together in LA in the fall we talked about finding a platform that can handle a community as big and diverse as ours. The key isn't to find the right software, though, (the current platform is actually a good fit), it's finding the right team. >>> >>> Metaphor time! Software is like an office and offices are boring. The people in the office are what make it interesting and we have amazing people here. Of course it takes a little coordination and structure to get everything to flow just right as we all know from running our coworking spaces. This is what I'm looking to add to the coworking wiki and I can't do it alone. >>> >>> I'm starting things off with a fundraiser. The plan is to raise money to pay a few part-time coordinators for one year. This will give us time to get everything set in motion so this system can continue past when the money runs out. The key to make this work is the Wiki Team. We are looking for five to ten spaces to donate approximately five hours of time per week from a paid staff member eager to be more involved in the movement. These positions will also be for one year so there is time to try things out and make changes when things don't seem to stick. >>> >>> The Wiki Team will put our best face forward by having real, live, human people available to answer questions, find information, and organize all the collaborative gold we share every day. They can connect conversations on the google group with information on the wiki and help keep track of our cumulative experience as we share and grow together. >>> >>> Please watch the video and read about the plan to learn more. >>> >>> Jacob Sayles >>> Office Nomads >>> Seattle, WA, USA >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group. >> To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. >> To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. >> For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/coworking?hl=en. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/coworking?hl=en. > -- Jacob --- Office Nomads - Individuality without Isolation http://www.officenomads.com - (206) 323-6500 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Coworking" group.
