I wish sustainability planning that was more a part of community initiative. While it's absolutely the right of the organizers putting in their time to decide their participation - where regret is expressed about something ending - it would be interesting to know any coulda/shoulda/wouldas for others to learn from. Baking it into the bread, early, of "why we do it this way" and learning it together, helps create a culture of ensuring things can be entrusted a little easier to the next group "who gets it" and then can grow it. The job of equality isn't done yet. Where equally capable and competent people both in potential and actualized to the table that normally aren't there is critical. It would be nice if something could take it's place, or continue it's work, and not start from scratch, or maybe someone can step forward to continue some of the work under the brand. Quite often new things end up re-learning the lessons of the past to get to a point of effectiveness again. Clay Shirky has a great essay about a group being it's own worst enemy, and I wonder if some of those themes in that essay were present at one point or in hindsight.
