[seul-edu] members and supporters



Well, the reason I said "site" in my suggestion for differentiating
between members and supporters is that the definition of organization is
vague. seul.org has no official org behind it as I remember you saying;
nor does opensourceschools.org. Iteachnet, my other site, does have an
org, but that doesn't mean it's any more substantial than the site.

Again, I think a simple definition is that members have sites; supporters
may, but not those dedicated exclusively to the "cause."

I didn't say it in my previous message, but I think it's important that
members be organizations, not individuals.  Of course, an organization
can _be_ an individual, as we've seen in many small projects.  But it
shows a committment beyond just a casual interest to set up a project
and advertise it to the world.  Honest effort is a requirement, but not
a sufficiency.  It has to be a _continuing_ effort if Schoolforge
membership is to be more than signing a petition in support of
something, with no further work required.
