Welcome to the Independents Hall Wiki, where we have and will continue to document the process of the creation of our independent co-working space in Philadelphia, PA.

Coworking is cafe-like community/collaboration space for developers, writers and independents.
Or, it’s like this: start with a shared office and add cafe culture. Which is the opposite of most modern cafes.

For more information on the coworking project, see the official wiki

To harbor the independent contractor talent of Philadelphia and collaborate towards goals of unification, innovation, and leadership.

More goals..

Still not really sure what it really means to cowork? We’re working on some “ use cases“. These are a work in progress, so be kind!

• Mailing List
• Campfire A web-based chat room used during Cream Cheese Sessions
