Here we try and document previous discussions, outcomes or arguments for/against. This is to help new members know a bit of the history in discussions. Do note that something having been discussed does not mean it cannot be discussed again, arguments and opinions change

keeping the space clean/tidy

cleaner

A recurring subject is whether to hire a cleaner or not.

Arguments for

Arguments against

tidying

Before cleaning can happen, the place needs to be tidy.

Some different suggested structures

  • everyone 'cleans' up their stuff.
  • 3 weeks + free for all
  •  ?

How 3weeks + free-for-all works

There are three boxes in a fixed place (currently next to the entrance door) below the books. Their positions (not the boxes) are labelled: 3 weeks, 2 weeks and 1 week.

  • Whenever objects are found that are not labelled, not trash, and not in storage, they get moved straight into the 3 weeks box.
  • Owners who have lost their belonging may recover them from the 3, 2, and 1 week boxes.
  • Weekly (before the social?) the following happens:
    • The contents of the "1 week" box gets dumped into the trash. The person doing the dumping MAY decide that some item is worthy to keep in the space as free to use and SHOULD store it into an appropriate shelve.
    • The 2week box gets moved into the "1 week" position.
    • The 3week box gets moved into the "2 week" position
    • The old 1 week box (now empty) will be moved into the 3 week position.

Related to this, for objects too large to fit into the boxes, that "appear in the space" there is https://wiki.techinc.nl/index.php/UnidentifiedStoredObjects registration page.
