Hi everyone,

For some time now, a group of us have been discussing the concept of a LEGO
site that the community could truly call its own-- community owned,
designed, and operated. To this end, we have been endeavoring for more than
half a year to bring that concept to life. After the recent announcement
concerning WorldLUG, we decided that it would be a good time to bring this
into the public eye.

Who are we? Presently, the group is made up of 9 people: Jacob Sparre
Andersen, Steve Bliss, Dan Boger, Jennifer Boger, David Eaton, Sean Kenney,
Jake Mckee, Richard Morton, and Calum Tsang.

What exactly does it mean to be "community owned"?  Is the site going to be like
a WIKI and anyone can change the content?  Is there going to be a controlling
body (say, for example, of 9 people) who are going to make all the decisions for
the community?  Is every change going to be done by a community vote?

The fact that this new website is going to be "community owned" seems to come up
in many of the posts and I just don't understand what it means.  Would folks
like to clarify this?  Thanks.

Abe
