Worker Cooperative

I am interested in worker owned companies. Trying to compile resources to assist in their formation.

Laura Flanders and Professor Richard D. Wolff speak a lot about worker coops on YouTube.

http://www.usworker.coop/home/ $100+ annual membership dues to access their database and technical assistance.

More to add/read...

From my brief analysis:

Store the FCStd file in git uncompressed (in own directory).
Use libgit2 with custom XML merge driver.
Make new workbench or augment existing ones with new drop down menu entries to handle git operations (push/pull).
At some interval check for updates to origin.
Handle real time transactions on top of that (e.g. real time cursor/updates you see in google-docs):
- Could make cloud service to handle real time data transfer if neither network supports UPNP. Or only support UPNP compliance.
- Handle locking/unlocking of essentially unmergable assets (e.g. 3D mesh). As well as visual representation changes to others with same file open.
- Other features as needed.

Interface for customers.
I think this would help with adaptation/feasibility of many OSE concepts... distribution of the means of production, minimize shipping emissions/cost, etc.
