I lit up at the mention of cooperative charters. Not because I know what they are, but because I have next to no idea.

I have the time and desire to get involved with something radical and experimental in the dimension of online community. I want to do something weird, in the Austin, Texas sense of the word. But that is just me. I would get involved for reasons of personal growth. I understand that this may be a livelihood-of-the-organization conversation, in which case the issue is that sweat equity isn't unlimited, not what is it that I think is neat. But if this post is a survey of how users would like to see the site grow, count me in the crowd of those who want a community ownership driven site.
