<p>Technical solutions to a social problem: All signs are monitors beaming editable wikipages; all signs have a blank page for people to write-in their editor name & timestamp wiki-style; all signs are eraseable whiteboards, the original wikipage.</p>
<p>I've got the rockin pneumonia & the boogy woogie flu right now, so I won't be around the space to hang or deface signs, but I am amused by these prospects.</p>
<p>I have also seen both exellent and unexcellent removal of signs in the space; the biggest issue here is that not everyone is in agreement over the wording / message of signs, so we're facing a small arms race. Lamination is the next natural defense signs, but then people will use knives to deface them, then we'll try framing things in glass, and then they'll use rocks, and so forth until we have bulletproof glass and folks riding nuclear bombs and defense like toxic barbs on a lionfish, beautiful yet deadly signage.</p>
<p>What, wait?</p>

edits are trivial.<br>

Anyway, my offer still stands. I'll donate a dollar a day to<br>
Noisebridge each day the printed signs go without being defaced or<br>
torn down. I'll occasionally replace signs and start paying again if<br>
they get tagged up.<br>

I'm up for meeting with Liz and Daravinne for brainstorming. There's a<br>
wiki page up too: <a href="http://nburl.net/signage" target="_blank">nburl.net/signage</a><br>
