This seems overly ambitious. Is "FarmLand" really needed to create a viable "Hackert0wn"? Perhaps they should focus on doing one thing well first (such as an educational center or hackerspace) before adding in side projects that don't really enhance these other things. I can buy farm fresh food or join a CSA farm share in New York fairly easily -- I don't see the need to tie it into my workspace.

You're right, they could probably shave a lot off that $1.5M if they made partnerships with other businesses instead of trying to reinvent the wheel.

They'd have fewer tasks to complete as well. What would be necessary for a good MVPt0wn?

I'd say a good MVPt0wn would just be a hackerspace or a coworking space.

educational centers and hackerspaces have already been done. We want to make this into more than just a hackerspace. It will be a hacker theme park sort of. With everything you could imagine a hacker (not just the software types) would want.
