This sounds and looks exactly like a more modern version of a worker cooperative (I am a member in a worker co-op). The laws around co-ops tend to be very 19th century but this is really what they are all about -- are you plugged in to the worker co-op community? There would be many interested users, potential grants and investment, etc.

That's the idea.

What would a worker coop look like if it was designed with the internet in mind. And what if the governance was baked into the project mgmt tool.

Here's a detailed doc explaining what we're trying todo: http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=306

It's a long read, and we need to make it shorter, but you're spot on.

No, I'm not plugged in to the worker co-op community. Loop me in.

This is the governance model we've come up with: http://bettermeans.org/front/?page_id=312
