Overall I like that slogan.

There is one point I haven't seen come up in discussion (apologies if I missed 
it) but should be highlighted.  I don't have a strong personal opinion on how 
important this point is, but because of whose point it is and the projects 
Snowdrift.coop aims to support, it should at least be mentioned:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#DigitalGoods

Now the slogan doesn't say "digital goods", but it does use "goods" in a way 
that to me felt slightly confusing initially (and would probably be more 
confusing to most people, since they spend less time thinking about software 
than the majority of us).

I don't know if there are good alternatives, though.  "Public works" isn't an 
option since it has its own meaning ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_works ) and "public works of authorship" 
feels a bit long to me.

Anyway, I just wanted to highlight this.  To me, the current slogan shouldn't 
be rejected solely on the basis of this, but it at least warrants a review by 
people more connected to the project than I.
