[Noisebridge-discuss] Pony & membership

[jim]

   thanks. as it turns out, i'd just finished 
reading the vision page. 

   giving keys out as a judgement call to anyone 
at all strikes me as a bad idea. seems a good 
thing to limit keys to members, as there's a 
fair amount of stuff there that should not go 
missing. 
   i recall a point made in the early days of 
83C about members getting keys only after they'd 
paid their dues. 

   the question of resource use remains open: 
* what's it mean "resources"? 
* are all resources available to all and sundry 
or are some resources limited to members? 
* are some resources made available by owners 
of resources to whomever they wish?
