"An important choice remains for this site. What kind of organisation will we be, practically, legally and financially?
A for-profit, shareholder corporation seems out of the question, by general consensus (correct me if I'm wrong), but other questions remain. The basic choice is this:
Will we be like a charity, a co-op, or a recreational club?
This is a gross simplification, but gives some idea of the options involved. Feel free to offer alternatives. So what should we be, what is our purpose, really? And what kind of a structure is required to make sure we serve that purpose, and that money doesn't end up in the wrong pockets?
Bonus question: which jurisdiction should we set ourselves up in to fulfil our mission most effectively?"

I agree that your comment shouldn't have been modded down. I wonder if there's going to be meta-moderation at some point. Personally I'm keeping an eye on this [dev.soylentnews.org].
But I disagree about the name being the most important thing. In this thread [dev.soylentnews.org] of today's Status Update story, I argued that we may want to consider sorting out our legal position before deciding on a permanent site name.
