Thanks for more first hand information.

Personally I found this part particularly interesting.
Even if you're talking about a space that has 100 full-time members at
$200 per member in a big city, you are very likely not looking at a
coworking space where the owners are making what they
Oops, sorry about the bad math (the vision of the 2 and the 5 there
took over the 12 not there)
I kind of stand by my non-numerical opinions, but no big issue, just
philosophy in very early state, it's a long way to the truth, and you guys
are incredibly helpful, thanks.
As said opinions are
Nice to ear first hand from owners with social awareness and practices,
thanks.
Sorry if my observation sounded general i.e. about all spaces.
Of course you cannot charge below cost (never said that).
(But, as you say yourself, very few people are getting rich in this
business. So, still, some
Hmm, you're right my statement was kind of confusing--because I have used
low ballpark figures (200$ city, 100$ village). Such values are on the fair
side. Social enough in spirit (meaning you're not rolling in bank notes).
Nevertheless I feel it can be lowered still. 100 members at 200$ equals
Not read the article, but I do feel cowork fees are too high in a couple
contexts:
space with hundreds of coworkers in a big city e.g. Berlin thus earning
many tens of thousands of euros monthly; that's very good business for the
owner, but somehow inbalanced w.r.t. to the social economy
*We rebalanced our full time membership*, which had grown to nearly 40%
of our total membership, back to ~20%.
Has this happened naturally, or you imposed some kind of quota?

Thanks a lot for the wealth of information. Very useful. I get it now.
Mostly old things under new names but I get it.

my buddies and I, were students we would do exactly what is now called
jellies and hoffices. We
Too many full time members, not enough flex (or some variation on flex).
Er... many fulltimers is a *problem*?!?!?

How would a free coworking space get income (to pay rent, manager, etc.) ?
I see some sites rent the conference rooms, is that it?
Thanks a lot.

We built phone booths. They can be a bit pricy to do up right but they
help. Just remember to ventilate them. :)
It's a long story but I am designing easy to assemble/disassemble rooms
providing total sound insolation, with integrated ventilation and (special
acoustic) glass windows.

I think a general definition of coworking is entirely possible
I chose poorly the word general, sorry. I meant something else, to be
discussed when I find the right words.
Incidently, I have just proposed a definition on the hyphenization thread.

FWIW, I agree with Will's arguments except the cow one.
To summarize, the spelling is irrelevant, because there is only one

with others in a company is never referred to as coworking.
Nevertheless, I think there is
The space totally irrelevant. Members that never show up, even. Pure sense

fast - making any definition questionable in terms of accuracy.
That's why threads like this are so useful.

No coworkers here work on music e.g. composers?
I do.
I cannot listen to others music while I work on my music.
Maybe that's why you don't have composers in your place...

From this forum and related sites I've learnt that the ideal way is to
