Who runs Codex?
Codex is run by a volunteer coordinator system: people volunteer for roles, and when there is no dissent, they take over those roles and have the final say on how those activities are run. For instance, one of our members initiated our library and took upon herself the job of organizing it and keeping it up to date until an automated system can be put in place. When there are decisions to be made about the library, she asks for feedback, and then acts based on her understanding of what the group wants and her own vision for the library. For more general issues, we’re run by a “Revolutionary Council” made up of all the area coordinators plus any coordinators-at-large who aren’t involved in a specific area but who volunteer to be involved in governance. Codex is currently funded by our Amazon affiliacy income. Any shortfall is made up by volunteer member contributions. The Codex Web site is run by Luc Reid, who developed the software for it and tries to keep the site up to date.
