Very useful indeed, for analysing the "things" in and around coworking. One 
important such thing being this "openess" vs. "invitation only" dicotomy 
(scale?) Another fundamental thing is of course the "community", or sense 
thereof. I suspect a general definition of coworking is impossible, but 
nevertheless understanding the "basic elements" is essential.

[Whatever we do w.r.t. a definition we must avoid *equating* coworking with 
community (for example). Coworking is a fuzzy balance of more than one 
thing. A single thing is of course the thing. Community is a single thing, 
and already has a name: "community"! This aside is in connection with the 
other subthread, about members of Les Satellites (?) that never show and 
just want to "belong".]
