   Thank you Andy. I'm ignorant about why PNG is better. Can you teach me?

   Also, there are no hiring or firing decisions. Anybody can contribute, contributors have non-binding votes. Members can nominate contributors to become members (this voting happens in private) and then they can have binding votes. It's a mo

   I agree about the huge soft underbelly. It definitely feels exposed and vulnerable to write everything in the sky. But after a while you get used to it. It keeps us honest (well more honest), and fair, and hopefully encourages more and mor

    The code is in a private github repo I would LOVE help. If you're willing to please check this out, and shoot me an email http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=253 We're an open enterprise, so everyone who asks, and agrees to our governan

    Nope. Not anti free-market. Just pro transparency, and meritocracy.

    - 403 is fixed. Yikes - Totally agree, it's a placeholder for now. We'll need a much better find and browse functionality.

    Can you elaborate? what disadvantages do you see in running this way?

    Yep, it's all open. Not just for people to see, but for people to join us and make it better.

    Just don't post your 30 day commitment unless you're ready to launch in 30 minutes

    Yep pretty much. I posted this and went for a walk with my son. Half-way to the park I saw that it made it to the front page. We turned around and I'm thinking to myself "shit, I just launched"

    Thank you for the feedback. I totally agree. The copy is vague, and was written before our product crystallized. It needs a serious rewrite.

    Nope. Try again. There should be link to create a workstream.

    It is. Thanks for pointing it out. Right now it's our guess that it will be the most popular plan based on talking to customers. I'll change this very soon. Thanks again for holding me accountable.

    Thanks. It's still very early, and very rough. But our hope is that others will come on board and make it way better than what it is right now. We're eating our own dogfood, and have are running bettermeans on the platform. Everything is tr

    This governance model explains who an open enterprise works. http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=312 Would love your feedback

    That's the idea. What would a worker coop look like if it was designed with the internet in mind. And what if the governance was baked into the project mgmt tool. Here's a detailed doc explaining what we're trying todo: http://bettermeans.

    Thanks. The problem is I don't have any supporting text, and folks are really confused about what we're doing! Maybe there is such a thing as too early of a launch.
