"If you don't like how something is done, then do it yourself." This tenet brought the River into existence. Once upon a time, some users on the WELL decided that they wanted a conferencing system created in their own image. So they joined together in a cooperative venture where the conferencing system is owned and operated by the member-participants. Less than two years old, it's a boisterous place with an emerging sense of self-government. Suddenly thrown in the position of "ownership" the members of the River had to hash out differences of vision and control. These shared experiences have created a bond between the fifty or so member-participants. Allsorts of topics are under discussion. Conferences of note include Inquiry, Technology and Being.- E.L.
