Says who? People have done art on nb walls forever, and it makes the 
space look cool. But if you mean ALL the walls, i agree.

Al's enthusiasm and energy to improve NB is excellent.  Thank you, Al.

But, I believe in the long-term, people going off and spending hundreds 
of dollars, and then asking to get paid back, is not a sustainable 
fiscal algorythm, were we to apply it to everything. I feel the 
potential drawbacks to lockers were not adequately discussed beforehand, 
and undoing it might not be as easy as we think.

I suggest that consistent, transparent processes for expenditures is a 
lot healthier for our bank account. But not by Consensus: purchases 
should be decided by working groups (ie the woodshop group). Eg., the 
community gives a $50/month budget to woodshop, and then the woodshop 
group decides how to spend it. That would sure be awesome.

(in response to the suggestion that i ask people for donations for 
tools: nobody should have to ask people for donations to buy tools -- 
Noisebridge should provide tools from donations it receives.)

I sure hope the idea of consistent processes catches on.
