We share the same driver/interest, although my thoughts may drift more towards the dreamy side. Normally my dreamy thoughts have little merit in the saturation of capitalist concepts, short of some revolutionary or market crash event; which in recent history did not seem out of the question.

This project opens the possibility of such thoughts in a constructive manner. There are no strict guidelines that need to be enforced like we would find on Main St.. It is for that reason that my suggestion is to think way outside the box of Main St.. Not to mimic it but to take things where it cannot.

As to what that will/could evolve into would be some consensus found among this community.


This would be a good thing in my opinion. However how one is rewarded is the issue where we could break new ground. My feeling is that this should be tempered with the main concern being for the developer not the end client. This is open source we are talking about after all. It is meant for everyone.


Again a great idea on face value. To relate to this project then, in my way of thinking, some thought to fair and equitable payment should be a focus. Say I will clean your toilet for X dollars then someone else comes along that will clean it for Y dollars. We are into the old market system and the only winner is the one who owns the toilet and does not want to clean it themselves. Again, only imagine, that someone advertises that they will clean toilets and someone else advertises that they will also clean toilets. Perhaps then the users of the site could vote what they think toilet cleaning is worth and both would then have to do it for that price or give up toilet cleaning.

Again only an off the top of my head idea, yet hopefully an example of how we can approach this with not a race to the bottom but a race towards equity.
