[tantek] capjamesg, the short reasoning is this: anyone *can* participate in the community already in multiple ways, here in chat, by joining events, by contributing to the Etherpads *during* events, etc. What all these have in common is that such "any one" has to contribute in real time in a place where there are other people actively around to help correct behavior, or if not there is abuse, quickly & easily kick them out
