Sylvia, you asked:

"How do we serve the needs of the SFU community first (as outlined in our project goals), yet at the same time present SCoPE as an inclusive community -- extending community activities and invitations for participation to an international audience.

How do we achieve both?
What are the implications for site design?"

How do we achieve both? I'd say just do it, using Liz's favourite quote. In principle we want to serve the SFU community first, but in practice, there is nothing to stop us doing both at the same time - serving SFU community and engaging a wider community. As we say in Chinese - walking with both legs. The two goals lend well to each other. I believe the more open we are, the more people we will get, and the better we'll be able to serve both.

I said too much on this already. I'll stop repeating myself.
I like the idea and would be happy to facilitate the activity and discussion. There is a community out there is already doing this. I've read some very candid and insightful discussions. It'd be nice to bring that into this group and educate ourselves on the topic. It will also deepen our understanding on the various issues related to open source.

I missed the voting deadline, but I'd vote for yes. I especially like the play of variations on the theme, as Stephanie pointed out. I'd suggest that we are scoping around SCoPE more and find more variations we can use for the future. We have linguistic-minded people here like Liz and Sandra and witty minds like Sylvia and Stephanie can help, I'm sure.
