Rich: I'm going to jump in here with my reactions to what I think fits at sfComplex. I'm just one guy, and I'm relying on the idea that a pattern will emerge from all of us.
The things I think are a good fit are: warm, easy, welcoming, social atmosphere world Net democracy novel astrophysics in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field Fresh art gallery, especially on the walls The things I don't think fit are coffee shop/wifi open to the general public mirror, desk, couch, donation jar collaborative meditative explorations, vegan diet and toxins de jour Eckhart Tolle webcast Dance night I'm happy to share my reasoning on this, but for now will leave it open to other people's comments. I'd also like to see if Friam list serve is the right place for the discussion.
