Dealing with stuff at the Node[edit | edit source]
I went through and simplified this a bit. Took out a lot of excess categories. I think some clear labels, maybe Adam's tape idea, or just text staying what category things fall in and who they belong too would be great. Rather than label absolutely everything certain things can just be put in a box a labeled x. Kellyegan 19:22, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Diagram of possible workflow[edit | edit source]
Apologies to the late George Carlin.
There are three kinds of things at the node:
- Donations (Node property)
- Loans
- Member property
Donations[edit | edit source]
Donations are items given to the Node outright and are the Nodes to decide how to use. Donations should be marked on "the donations clipboard" (virtual or otherwise) with relevant info and clearly labeled.
- Donors may ask that certain equipment be used in a certain way but ultimately donations are Node property.
- Donors wishing a receipt for a donation should contact the treasurer or other officer.
Once an item is donated it may be divided into these categories:
- Raw material/scavenged - Consumables items meant for use/reuse: part scavenging, power tool race cars, whatever. Everything defaults to raw material unless otherwise specified.
- Tools - These items are donated with the intent that they be used in their current or repaired state. Tool items should not be scavenged. Example: a belt sander that should not be made into a power tool race car.
- Other purpose - If an item is needed for a specific purpose (parts for particular workshop, item to sell at auction, etc. ) it should be clearly labeled with such intent.
- Discard. - Why did you leave it here? Too lazy to find a dumpster?
Loans[edit | edit source]
"Here it is, I'll be wantin' it back, so take care of it." Limited to tools for use. Loans should be marked on "the clipboard" with relevant info and clearly labeled.
- Loans should not leave the space except in the possession of their original owner.
- Tool loaners are responsible for clearly labeling items as loans and with their name.
- The owner of the loaned tool must agree to hold the Node harmless should the loaned tool be damaged, lost, or stolen. Loan terms form
- I can handle that, but if you break my circular saw by dropping it off the roof, I'm coming after you. Abachman 21:30, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Loaned tools may be used by any member, so long as they're able to use the tool safely and without damaging it.
- You can't loan consumables, just like you can't borrow a tissue. Consumable should be donations or member property.
Member property[edit | edit source]
Members may keep a small amount of personal property at the Node. This property should be confined to a specified member storage area and be clearly labeled with the member's name. If a member needs additional space for a short period of time they should bring it up to the group.
Discard policy/quarterly sweeps[edit | edit source]
The Node will conduct quarterly(sooner if needed) sweep of items in the space.
- Scavenge/raw materials will be cut down to a specified space, size constraint.
- Tools and large items will be evaluated for usefulness (has it been used recently? is there member support for keeping it?).
- Loaned items may need to be returned to the owner. Owners should be prepared to take them back, but will be given a reasonable period to pick them up.
- Members should be prepared to remove any excess items left at the Node.
