Just wanted to correct a couple of things:

- Filming is scheduled to sync up with the 25,000 member mark. 50,000 is the suggested amount of a sustainable ‘Swarm’ community though - a self-sustaining nanostudio.

- In terms of problems/limitations:
The development time is wrong: ASOA softlaunched mid-2006.
You are correct about the long development time for the scripts - this is due to the fact we are testing two types of collaborative approach to scriptwriting. As it is participative and collaborative the writing process is a long one, but we do have two scripts that are in advanced development.

The project development time for the ‘beta test’ of creating two feature films is still within the traditional timeframe of approx 5 years to make one ‘traditional’ independent feature film.

That said, the site and structure of http://aswarmofangels.com is currently being reconfigured to take account of what we have learnt in the process so far, toward streamlining participation and accelerating development while keeping it true to its pioneering open source, co-created, and crowdsourced nature.

Thanks.

1)The 1/3 split of ad revenue did exist once but with the change to 50% of album sales from 1/3 split of album sales the ad revenue was taken away. The main reason Sellaband did this (as they told their community) was to reduce the amount of advertising onsite.

2)I also would like to add to your community section that fact that there currently are several offsite community projects not handled by the company.

3)Recently the 50k budget was changed Sellaband now takes 10% for adminsitrative purposes and the artist takes 10% to do with as they please (It is hoped they will use this for promotional purposes)

I hope you appreciate these corrections.
