These are good points, and I would not be opposed to this plan. > >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. > > I think they are bundled with the above.

Hmm, yeah, maybe co-op/money/website are a lot more interdependent than I was thinking. That makes me wonder — what is the plan for co-op and money? If they are going to impact site development, and be impacted by it, we need a holistic roadmap. I looked around at the Next and Strategy wiki pages and didn't find any mention of a plan. I'm pretty sure there *is* a plan (part of which is drafting bylaws..?). I know one of the visions is to be a non-profit cooperative. How does that break down? Do we have to be a non-profit before we become a co-op, or vice versa, or <something>? Will there be requirements put on the website to achieve any of that vision (non-profit, cooperative, both)? Will the OSI's incubation have any role to play on the website's design and features?
