Vince had a great idea in this thread:

I think each coral should have its own thread with updates on how the frag is doing. What I am not sure about if there should be a list of who wants the next piece.
Any thoughts?

Funny, I was just thinking of a possible "Pay it forward" type of propagation. I was inspired by Tony (in San Carlos) who recently gave away 6 RBTAs. I was thinking of taking something nice, like some kind of "Master of the Universe" zoos, then giving 3 polyps to someone for free, with the understanding that when it grew to 6 polyps, that person would give away 3 polyps to someone else, with the same understanding. The person can then keep as many polyps as they want. The idea being that the coral is contantly being forwarded to other people for free, with the goal of forward propagation. With an RBTA, I thought, what if you gave away some clones with the understanding that ther recipient must also freely pass on at least one clone (give whatever you got), under the same conditions. Sort of like a GPL (think Linux) of corals! (too bad RBTAs only split when they feel like it!)
Any thoughts? Would the club sponsor this by possibly fragging something? I know the frag workshops are similar, but there isn't any set "condition" to it. I mean, the hope is that frag workshop corals will eventually return to the frag swaps (The do) , but no real hard set understanding.
What do you guys think? Each project coral could have it's own "family tree" thread (in the BAR forums, if not here)so we could track the propagation progress. Like the RBTAs, it would be cool to be able to track it's lineage.
