Making Sense of this interactive site
One of the strong points and at the same time weaknesses of an interactive site is that at first look there are too many options, and they mostly don't seem to do what you want!

Community Design Considerations
Design Considerations
*A nice flow thru the camp by two diagonals. One the emergency egress road which will be the camp promenade, and the other a opposite diagonal placement of vehicles and tents.
*The perimeter is pretty much ringed with vehicles.
*An emergency egress road. After setting up leaving early would not be easy, but would be possible.
*The community structure is ringed by anchor vehicles. This will provide support and wind blockage as well as allowing 12 volt power for the lights.
*Dan has made LED lights for the interior. Nice.

2009 Plans - Copy of the email sent out to everyone on the mailing list in early 2009
Hi,
I’m starting to work on the Burning Man theme camp
application for “The Elders.” After reviewing comments from last year, here’s
what I propose for 2009. Comments?
2009 Dinners - Planning
Pre 2006 - We each did our own thing for food and "dined" together on a hit or miss basis.
2007 - Skip made a couple of community dinners. We liked the food, the camaraderie, etc
2008 - Skip did all the community dinners and breakfasts. It was very nice and greatly appreciated to have community dinners, socialization, etc.
UPDATE: We are having No community dinners and No community kitchen for 2009. Folks wanting to eat together can plan for about 7:00 -bring your own food.
My 2 cents
This is my 2nd attempt as I hit the wrong button and erased the original posting ...duhhhhhh!
Here's my 2 cents in response to Jim's thoughts regarding 2008 and 9.
Lights
So far we've used various lanterns for light. Dan caught me one evening and mentioned the need for better lighting and that he would be willing to lookinto some sort of LED lighting.
Points for electrical engineers!
