All, About 1/3 (7) of the 23 members responded to the poll about what one's current status is. 2 are in programmer co-ops, 2 are self-employed and 3 are FTEs...
I have mixed feelings about your proposed changes. PROS: On one hand it might actually improve the posting activity. And encourage the sense of community. ...
Right, I also feel that keeping the group together would be helpful, mixing those already in co-ops and those still trying, and also those of us like myself...

It seems to me that a programmer cooperative needs to have a business focus, just as much as an individual programmer should have some speciality. That being...
