The gate

Knock, and say why.

A working proposal, not an offer. Whimsible is not filed yet; nothing written here binds anyone. A person reads this and a person writes back.

Just here to play, follow along or buy things? You are already Community. Nobody has to knock for that. Knock if you want in, or if you only have questions.

Be remembered here

A key is a memory. Remembered on Whimsible, your key opens the tools, what we are building, and a stall of your own in the market. It is free, and it stays free. The same key can be remembered on Magpie's pages too; that is a separate thing, and it is below.

Asking the door…

Also remember me on Magpie's pages. A separate memory on the same key, free. What Magpie shares by subscription is over at bymagpie.com, paid to Magpie and never to Whimsible.

One key works in every place. Rather keep a separate key for Whimsible? You choose whether the two are linked; what each keeps stays its own.

Want to put something in? Money, a stall, testing, a scenario, time. The ways to contribute

Or knock, and say why

What about Whimsible are you interested in joining for? What about Whimsible do you think would benefit you? What are you contributing, or wanting to contribute, to Whimsible, other than yourself and your skills?

A business, a craft, time, money, a thing you own, or nothing yet. You choose what to bring in, and only what is in is protected.

What questions do you have?

Anything. The ones nobody can answer yet are what we talk about.

Which door?

Community, with questionsYou are not joining anything. You just want to ask.

Cohort: a memberFree to join. Remembered here: the tools, the market, a stall of your own, the zine, and a say. Contributing is separate and never required.

Cohort: a place and the marketingYou want a bed in the garden, a page or a whole site at your own domain, the search layer under it and a place on the marketing page, without being a member or a collaborator.

Collaborators: offering what you doYou want to help build this, with your services or your time, whether or not you pay anything. An unpaid membership, an offering. Everyone joining right now comes in this way: you give your input and you vote. Founders are collaborators who have built a working relationship with us; that is a process, not a form.

Collaborators: an organization or a businessYour whole thing wants in. The people working inside it get the benefits whether they join on their own or not.

What should we call you?

Where do we write back?

We write to this address about your knock and nothing else.

Also tell me when something new is planted in the garden.

What happens after a knock

A person reads it. Nothing is sorted by a machine.
We write back, and we talk. The conversation is the application.
You make your bed.
What you said you would bring goes in the ledger only when you say so, and only once Whimsible is filed.

The ways in The way out, before you ever join
