RE: Formulating Antoine's proposal

What direction are you thinking about extending "offer"?

I've been unhappy with suggestions that libraries offer things at a price of $0.  What I'd really like to see is an offer to share.  I think "sharing" has much broader application than just libraries.  My personal experience is with local Habitat for Humanity groups and disaster assistance mission trips.  In both cases, marshalling a distributed collection of sharable items with rich descriptions of the items, including local copy annotations ("the chain needs sharpening"), is critical to the process.

Thanks!

Subject: Formulating Antoine's proposal

I'm listening to the meeting recording (it's amazing how much more it makes sense the second time around!). Antoine made a good proposal about asking the general vocab list about the possibility of modifying definitions of properties like "offer". Right now, this is the definition for offer:

"An offer to sell an item-for example, an offer to sell a product, the DVD of a movie, or tickets to an event."

I think we could describe our case for using offer and ask about the community's feeling about making the definition a bit more general.
