Many of us have been asked what it takes to set up a MOO: what
software, what kind of computer, how much RAM.
We are asked about the costs of the machinery. People talk in terms of
technological resources and rarely of the human resources. For every
MOO server, every meg of RAM, we also need to consider the people
who work to set up, maintain, and develop MOOs: the wizards,
admins, programmers, builders and yes, the "players." Part of "valuing"
the play we do on MOO also has to do with "valuing" the extraordinary
amount of time and creative effort that goes into our MOOs on a,
mostly, volunteer basis. As we promote MOO for education, we also
need to ensure that we place as much value on our people as we do the
technology itself.
