My platform: * Plan to expand to 150--250 members during the next year. End the pledge system once we can do so without increasing dues significantly. * Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union. * Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy. * Document development processes for our custom software. * Last but not least, I will have HCoop T-shirts printed, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005.

OpenID server
Would it make sense for HCoop to be an OpenID provider? Gracie is a server that authenticates users using PAM, and it's in Debian. We could allow users to register their identity URIs using domtool, as well as supporting http://hcoop.net/~user automatically.
