Hi Alex, Just feedback about this for what it's worth, from someone who probably doesn't understand what's going on:
Having two separate lists that are basically doing the same thing, using the same name, but that are independently administered seems counterproductive to me. It divides rather than unites. It forces me to choose, which makes me less likely to want to sign up to either list. It suggests the two projects are competing rather than supporting each other, which is contrary to the spirit of the coworking visa and so reduces my trust in the intentions of both groups (or would, if I hadn't been around since the start of the original and didn't already know the good intentions that went into that). I can understand that there are things that aren't perfect about the original coworking visa, but if you're going to use the same name and concept, wouldn't it be better to contribute to helping make that list better rather than to create an alternative platform with completely different administrators? Knowing some of the people behind that original project, I imagine they'd love the help and it would be a win-win. Or what am I misunderstanding assuming I've got it wrong?
