I'm a web programmer too;  love it!

Maybe the "statement of values" become's coworking's equivalent to an open 
source license.  We name each one and publish them on the coworking.com site 
and we come up with a simple method (vote on a straw poll with unanimous minus 
one to pass?) to approve a new one.  We could start with Citizen Space's as a 
first one?

That will allow discussion and clarification around named statements of values, 
and it will make it so people can grab and use them for new spaces, and read 
blogs like Alex's (cause I know he'll write lots about them) to help understand 
what the specific meaning is for a given set of values.

It's very lightweight and I think should address everyone who is concerned with 
overthinking things and/or creating too heavy/rigid of a structure.
