"Bottom line" is really more important in for-profits, and Hcoop is a
nonprofit. I think we'll have the money to keep going with a member
freeze.

I disagree, I think we are being held up by migration. I've had to
migrate a server with about 100 active users, and it's harder than it
looks. 

I wouldn't say we're pawns, although a co-op has to walk a delicate
balance between member control and regular leadership. We might need a
better definition of just what that balance means for us.
