One more fun, kinda geeky idea I had: http://github.com/alexknowshtml/Coworking.com
<http://github.com/alexknowshtml/Coworking.com>I've now posted the very first iteration of the website to github for anybody to fork and contribute back to. Bug fixes, UI ideas, copywriting...whatever you like. You can submit a pull request to me and we can use true open source to evolve the website. For those who don't now what Git or Github is, I apologize for the last 4 sentences of what must have appeared to be Klingon to you. -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Feb 18, 2010 at 8:21 PM, Avesta <2bave...@gmail.com> wrote: > You did an awesome job handling all of this Alex, and the page looks > great! > > Avesta and Cameron > Founders > CoLoft > Coloft.com > > On Feb 18, 5:17 pm, Tara Hunt <horsepig...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I'm sure it did!
