Thanks Josh. Added another item.<br>
<br>
Question though: aren't we all "volunteers?" I'm increasingly
feeling like we're trying to operate under a traditional nonprofit
organizational model, when in fact what we need is not traditional
volunteers, but more dedicated working members. Of course, there are
some folks who can only commit a very small amount of time per week,
but we shouldn't think of them as volunteers, as though they were
ancillary to the group, but rather a full members with serious
commitment constraints. <br>
<br>
Mostly semantics, but I think the language we're using is shaping
the way we're thinking about this effort in a counterproductive way.
The big issue is that we need to increase our collective capacity by
bringing in more dedicated people. <br>
