Jeff, Great idea. I will second what Craig said from Asheville, that a simple share of prices, plans, membership ramp up, and fixed and variable costs capture most of the value of the exercise. Exploring other avenues for community building and/or developing revenue streams is also very appealing. I know the feedback I have gotten from other space owners (including Craig, btw) has been very helpful to me.
