II. The Concept - Central or Decentralized?
The overarching structural question is whether the Commons should be centralized around a particular website or distributed over the Internet.“

II. The Concept - enough storage capacity?
[A] Commons defined by quantity of content available (or number of donations) will require more storage space and less screening of content, while one focused on quality will require expert content-selection, but perhaps correspondingly less storage capacity. Servers, storage, and salaried editors all cost money, and as a not-for-profit entity, we must choose our expenses carefully.

II. The Concept - the Greatest Concerns
It is too easy to imagine a scenario in which a completely unregulated Commons turns into either a junkyard for worthless content, or alternately, a repository of Internet pornography.
