      I was thinking of turning the entire project into a cooperative; as a workable business and organisational model.
      
      I started down this path with some rules of governance which were taken directly from successful co-ops. Unfortunately that was about the time of the 'blabla' rebellion and I had to re-assert control to try and keep the community from fragmenting. Now I'm working outside the project so if such a move were to be attempted again it would probably have to come from within. It would be a refreshing change from the dictatorial or Stallmanesque or corporate-sponsored open source models that are prevalent today - and I've seen cooperatives thrive here in Oz.
