    Something like this – http://www.commoncraft.com/ – might work.. One of those vids on “How to Build a Co-Working Community” (one on “What is Co-Working?” couldn’t hurt, either). Done in a viddler viewer you’d have the opportunity for the contributory aspect you’re going for.

    @David: That’s a neat concept, I love commoncraft (the recent zombie survival one was great!). I should probably rope in some video folks with real experience (ahem forkyou ahem illadates, etc) for some production technique, but I could totally write and narrate that. I think my conversational tone of writing would lend pretty well to it. Good one!

    I hadn’t heard of commoncraft before but that’s very cool. I think a video like that could work, maybe intersperse some “live action” video with it as well?

    Whatever form the videos take, if we do videos I’d love to help out. Feel free to “rope me in.”

    Hm. Thought–co-working vlog with core “how-to” videos?

    excellent, Lauren. Thanks!

    I don’t know how many how-to videos we could do within the scope of coworking…any specific topic ideas?

    LOL! I figured you’d do something with the Viddler record feature, but I didn’t think it’d be done that quickly! Thanks for the shout out. Let’s talk about the IndyHall-video-a-day project soon!

    Hey Alex, just got a chance to watch your video — and thanks for the shout out! As for your question regarding how-to topics — these are the “how-tos” that are running through my brain, which you can feel free to use, rearrange, or completely disregard as you see fit:

    How do I…

    -find and/or start a coworking community? -finance the project? (These first two are the biggest questions for me right now.) -find a place to hold events that doesn’t cost all of my earthly belongings? -gauge interest and determine the viability of a space? (Assuming that a community is established.) -determine the appropriate size of a space and then go about getting it set up (furniture, wiring, etc.)? -determine a fee/membership model? -creatively market the community and space? (I do have some ideas here, but this topic would likely serve others well.)

    So that’s a start…I’m sure there will be more at some point in the future. Hope that’s helpful.

    Oh, one more: How do I set up web presence for a Sactown group? (I am by no means a “techie” or whatever you want to call it. I mostly write/edit/read, and barely have my own web site. So, I need help with that desperately…)

    @alex

    So bad at keeping up with comments….sorry for the delay.

    I just had a wacky idea–a co-working sitcom/sketch show/comic how-to videos.

    As far as srs bizness is concerned…hmmm. I would think the root to the whole co-working thing is “how to network/find people to co-work with”. Cause if you can’t network, then you’re kinda SOL.
