Yes we are saying the same thing... but probably my poor english is difficult to understand.


no worries. You are bilingual, I am not (except for a few dirty phrases in Spanish and the pledge of allegiance in French.) I am no one to criticize.  :)

Some of these ship are more near (network) others are more distant and maybe want to follow a different route. In future I think what matters is that I'm ready to help near and far ship, because I believe in the symbiostock system, but the route that I follow is my choyce. So if someone in a network put in some images on wich I don't agree I'm free to leave the network. That's all. If the network is poor in content, fail; if not, it means simply that it is following another route. What we need care is the choice of the network member and the right way to promote the sites and the system to reach more ships and fellow (better member of our network).
When symbiostock will be ready, the most important thing will make it known. A network, without traffic fail it doesn't matter if it is good or bad; so first reach the traffic after the buyer and the people  judge which of these networks are good and which are not.

That's one way to look at it, but I think you're missing that while a complete Symbiostock network (as yet undefined) is one thing, this is open source. Anyone, anywhere can install and network with whomever they wish to and vice versa for any product that can be downloaded. There is literally no way to curate a network unless you create your own and set your own rules. Now, if you're talking about creating a closed network of specific Symbiostock sites that you think would compliment your own, that's fine. It's built to do exactly that among other things.

If you're talking about having a brand specific network of sites using Symbiostock and have some central list or website and curating who can list there, then again I have to ask, who determines what's good and what isn't? It seems to me it kinda defeats the purpose of doing this project, which in my mind is about putting control of our content back into our hands instead of that of an agency.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean. But I don't want anyone other than me determining what I put up for sale.
