<div dir="ltr">I am part of a group trying to start a space in Kansas... now I have no idea what to call it. I will be sad if what we call ourselves ends up getting us removed from <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a>. We even switched our meeting venue because the free wifi blocked access to <a href="http://hackerspaces.org">hackerspaces.org</a> and we couldn't live with that...</div>

</div>The distinctions you're drawing here are yours alone, and poor ones.<br>
No one else has suggested the dividing line that you're describing<br>
here. There are a hundred factors that make a space more<br>
hackerspace-y, and freeside and nycresistor both have 90 of them,<br>
while geniuscorps has 2 of them. there's a line somewhere between<br>
those two numbers that should be the bar for inclusion on the wiki.<br>
