There's so much website that we already have — this step feels like it could be elided. Can you provide justification for it? > Alpha: Self funding: Real Money, only one project -- > snowdrift.coop, mostly-complete mechanism (doesn't need to account > for multiple projects), > - Primary required work: mechanism, legal, ongoing UX I love this idea!

I still feel that "milestone" is the right word for these thresholds. There's one thing not addressed by any of the above: co-op and legal structure! I think that the co-op project is somewhat independent of the website project, but I do not know to what degree that is true.
