I love these ideas. They imply a radically different way of thanking
than the status quo outside our walls, where people tend to only care
about themselves and think "other peoples' problems are not my
problems". Which is GREAT but also raises the ante for all of us. I
think this is one of the most important things we should be getting
across when acculturating new people to our space - sharing isn't just
about software and tools. We share responsibility for the space and
for each other.
