[Noisebridge-discuss] Items in Jeopardy

[jim]

   maybe move the big pile of hackable crap closer to 
the elevator? that would make it easier to bring in 
more crap as well as to take out crap that's been 
sitting around for an annoying period of time. 
   i like the idea of a horseshoe: inbound stuff comes 
in, sits for a while, somebody gets sick of that pile 
and moves the newly arrived stuff to the center of the 
hoop to free up space for more inbound stuff. somebody 
else, likely, gets sick of the crap that's been 
sitting at the opposite end of the hoop (the outbound 
end) and moves it to the 
garbage/recycling/get-it-out-of-here area. some yet 
different soul moves the stuff in the center of the 
hoop to the outbound end.... 
   the scheme seems to fit the way noisebridgers work--
ignore stuff until they perceive a problem and then 
act. 
   i predict that if lots of new stuff keeps coming in, 
noisebridgers will deal with the problem pretty 
effectively, whatever the scheme, albeit in a slooowww 
manner.
