Julie and I are working on this now on the coworking wiki and she should have an announcement later today with the URL. The initial concept: a list of participating spaces, with links to their websites. Each space can specify terms:
1. who is eligible (just other participating spaces by default, but could be broader) 2. what is being offered (day drop-in use) 3. how to arrange to visit a space and use the service (advance notice requirements) 4. how other space owners can best verify membership (email, twitter, phone, carrier pigeon, URL for a member list) Future directions we brainstormed (distilling the wisdom of the thread): - an easily-updated map of participating spaces - a Coworking Visa logo to put on participating spaces' pages - perhaps other tools for rapid verification or listing space members It's exciting to make this go. Raines Cohen, Coworking Coach <http://www.CoworkingCoach.com/> P.S. Hey, MyDayOffice <http://coworking.pbwiki.com/My+Day+Office> folded up its tent a couple of months ago and nobody said a peep about it on the list? Jacob of Office Nomads removed 'em from the CoworkingSeattle<http://coworking.pbwiki.com/CoworkingSeattle>page on the coworking wiki but we really should start threads here when spaces fail (and start a DeadSpaces page on the wiki) so we can do some more failure analysis and avoid the same mistakes.
