I've not studied "under the hood," but noticed that land covenants and new group officer powers were enabled in the latest update installed around 8/24/06. I suspect these may offer in "hard code" the sorts of capabilities that the Neu* series of communities have been working up, or else the sort that the "land barons" have been cobbling together.
Has anyone looked at these new changes closely to see what they offer for self-governance?
Can someone point us to a good summary of what is now possible that was not possible before? And, perhaps, some ideas about new applications to self-governance?
