presumably we are agreed that every endeavour undertaken by a member of the wrk.grp is not an endeavour of the group. the group’s mission involves a collaborative process; does this preclude any discussion of independent work? can discussion amongst the members take place without altering the scope of the projekt? If you bring a projekt before the group for feedback, i would say that it remains your work until you declare that you choose collaboration instead of comments. for instance, a suggestion that you place your screen door in a direct path to your steps does not cast the wrk.grp umbrella over your porch.

our im discussion earlier today, coupled with my recent thoughts on my closing statements in the upcoming copyright lawsuit, rekindled my interest in crafting some form of constitution for the work.group. beyond the current manifesto, it would be a framework for the production of the work, rather than a declaration of its intent. i had originally intended to hack something together from the ideas behind the open source movement, as codified in the gpl, by exchanging ’software’ for ‘architecture’. however, not only is this forbidden, but my late dalliances in wiki have revealed to me that the gpl may already apply to creative endeavors as well. indeed, software is creative, as well, but i am thinking in terms of photographs, bitmaps, porch cd’s, etc. by looking over open source graphics, we find the creative commons has tackled this issue; there is even the ability to customize the license that fits our goals (my first notions). would this be something you would be interested in pursuing? Should we craft our own constitution? Should new workers have to ratify it? Should we maintain full control of the work, which seems impossible and detrimental to the field? Should things remain undefined?
