 * Andy: membership process needs to be less confusing / less of an obstacle. New name for membership more like "authorized user."
-Hey everyone! This is all great insights, and I want to remind everyone we have a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday, September 5th) at 8 PM if people want to chat about some of this in person.
-My personal opinion is that we should change the terms we use. What we currently call "Members" should be called "admins" or something that better describes highly involved members engaged in managing the space. And I think we should apply the term "members" to anyone who walks in the door and wants to feel a sense of belonging. Basically, if you agree to adhere to the code of conduct and sign up for the malinglist, you're now a "member".

-Love it. Ironically this reminds me of the way sudo used to be, before
-incorporating or formalizing any process or moving to omni. Except
-there were always stark inequities in who felt comfortable actually
-declaring a person's membership to exist. I hope we can do better this
-time around.
-This also begs the question of whether or how we keep track of
-membership - should there be a centralized list or not? Is sudo-humans
-appropriate or up to the task? Either way, sudo-humans would need to
-be changed.
 Do we need a member list
