Create a regenerative work list

Proposal History

• Written by micro on 2026.10.08

Motivation

I think writing down a list of all the little and big things everyone does to make the space what it is can serve a few purposes. One its a celebration of just how much work goes into the space, and makes it visible. Two it is a soft on-ramp for people to help out and maybe connect to groups. Three its a check on ourselves for what actually needs to happen and practicing grace when things don't.

Proposal overview

We create a spreadsheet, that has a list of stuff that people do, and who is the current bottom-liner. We check in with each other (yearly? quarterly?) and ask if they'd like to continue bottom-lining or help finding new volunteers or needs to change.

Details

Background

This is the main bit of coordinating work at NYC Resistor and I think we could benefit from trying it. It happens once a year, there are cookies, its also kinda a mini-reunion since it really involves us all.

Who this affects

Every working group? It could be framed as participation in spokes / a part of spokeswide activity.

Work required

Make a list somewhere - wiki or docs
Coordinate a time (preferred), or allow folks to fill in their labour async
Plan a yearly checkin

People doing the labor

I am so bad at the coordinating stuff, so maybe this proposal is a call for help in making it happen

Money required

None
