Well, when are we a cooperative and when do we force people to pay something own their own? The one example of someone having to operate on their own that comes to mind for me is when Tanveer Singh installed a java-based file browser or mail tool which promptly ate up a ton of bandwidth, more than his share. Adam asked him if he would pay for the extra and he did. Analyzing Tanveer's situation in terms of intent, effect, and resolution we have: intent - personal usage of a software program effect - excessive bandwidth use resolution - personal coverage of costs Analyzing our current situation in terms of intent, effect, and resolution we have: intent - coop-wide migration and improvement of deployment platform effect - excessive monthly fee resolution - being handled in different ways by different members with vary degrees of comfort in doing so By the way, it would be nice to know about actions towards individual members like the one I cited regarding Tanveer. I just happened to catch that in passing on IRC. Perhaps there should be a weblog with RSS feed that provides all the latest actions. -- HIV/AIDS on trial - http://www.aliveandwell.org/ Let's play chess: http://www.SlowChess.com _______________________________________________ HCoop-Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-discuss
