I'm not part of Swarm, but hope you guys decide not to disband.

That's convincing, Jim. I also vote "no".

I'd like to know what the mission is, even if it's only to fold and disperse the funds.

Even if there is a way for Netlogo to acknowledge a $10k donation, a link to the existing Swarm website is not going to impress. In particular, if we do decide to be absorbed into an active organization, what is the value of shining attention to SDG if it then disappears?

Intangible assets are a shared history and disjoint but overlapping activities in ABM. Splitting up the funds is the easy part, Making more of SDG requires a vision, agreement and individual commitments of time. But I don't see that we can do all this before the end of the voting period. We have created a false deadline for ourselves.
