????一家名為NYCGA.net的網(wǎng)站收錄了所有這些集會(huì)的會(huì)議紀(jì)要。組織信息可以在Twitter上公開查閱，并且用#OWS（占領(lǐng)華爾街）和#needsoftheoccupiers（占領(lǐng)者的需要）這樣一些標(biāo)簽進(jìn)行分類處理。維德斯稱，并非所有的需要都能得到滿足，許多參與者依然需要食物和衣服，這些東西基本上都來自各方的捐贈(zèng)。

????盡管占領(lǐng)者依然在一些方面難以滿足其成員的基本物質(zhì)生活需要，但占領(lǐng)華爾街運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)滿足了抗議者中一些技術(shù)精英的精神需要。維德斯說，許多程序員在完成了白天的工作后，才會(huì)開始為占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動(dòng)工作。這是一個(gè)許多大企業(yè)夢寐以求的潛在員工群體，他們正在為占領(lǐng)華爾街運(yùn)動(dòng)貢獻(xiàn)自己的聰明才智，因?yàn)樗麄兿矚g自由地創(chuàng)作（事實(shí)上，一位占領(lǐng)者最近被一家金融機(jī)構(gòu)招致麾下，他可以一邊在祖科蒂公園抗議，一邊為該公司工作）。

????這種創(chuàng)作的自由已經(jīng)催生了一些富有創(chuàng)意的解決方案。一個(gè)抗議者小組正在研發(fā)一個(gè)名為“攝影棚占領(lǐng)（studio occupy）”的網(wǎng)絡(luò)應(yīng)用程序。它允許人們共享原始視頻，占領(lǐng)者和支持者們都可以對視頻進(jìn)行協(xié)作編輯。此外，支持占領(lǐng)華爾街運(yùn)動(dòng)的程序員還在編寫一個(gè)基于云計(jì)算的日歷程序，它可以在地圖上標(biāo)示出事件、空間及其他的相關(guān)消息，比如附近的警察活動(dòng)等。

????占領(lǐng)活動(dòng)沒有等級觀念，這個(gè)特征或許會(huì)對計(jì)算機(jī)高手和程序員格外具有吸引力，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)群體往往對DIY（自己動(dòng)手）文化情有獨(dú)鐘。雖然在我們這些按時(shí)點(diǎn)卯，賺點(diǎn)辛苦錢的局外人看來，占領(lǐng)者的總體目標(biāo)似乎依然不夠清晰，但維德斯堅(jiān)稱，他們的目標(biāo)正在形成之中，而且將在華盛頓和華爾街以外的地區(qū)得以實(shí)現(xiàn)。

????維德斯希望這些零散分布的占領(lǐng)活動(dòng)最終能演變?yōu)榭沙掷m(xù)發(fā)展的社團(tuán)。下一步將是把占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動(dòng)與非營利組織或小企業(yè)結(jié)合起來，從而使它們獲得可持續(xù)的資金保障。占領(lǐng)華爾街運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)有了一個(gè)小企業(yè)工作組。但愿長期的可持續(xù)性規(guī)劃能夠在明年秋天現(xiàn)出雛形，因?yàn)樵诤涞亩就茈y舉行大規(guī)模的社會(huì)活動(dòng)（今年這個(gè)冬天很可能會(huì)特別難熬）。

????我們將拭目以待。全球占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動(dòng)在很多方面都顯得大而無當(dāng)——各種相互沖突的議程使之難以確定共同的目標(biāo)，更遑論實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)了。但換個(gè)角度看，某些地區(qū)的占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動(dòng)已經(jīng)具備了一種或許值得許多公司效仿的組織靈活性。占領(lǐng)運(yùn)動(dòng)剛滿一個(gè)月的時(shí)候，維德斯曾經(jīng)試圖籌辦一次紀(jì)念活動(dòng)，需要買一塊大蛋糕。蛋糕售價(jià)200美元，但示威者們誰都拿不出錢來。維德斯說，他當(dāng)天就找到了一家糕點(diǎn)店，愿意在網(wǎng)上接受支持者零星捐款。祖科蒂公園的示威者們最終成功地舉行了一次慶祝勝利的派對。

????這是一個(gè)從人群中迅速募集資金的成功案例。

????因此，雖然那些敲鑼打鼓、舉行集會(huì)、憂心忡忡的占領(lǐng)者看起來并沒有一個(gè)貫穿始終的訴求或戰(zhàn)略，但它們其實(shí)正在形成。就目前而言，占領(lǐng)者們至少可以時(shí)不時(shí)地吃上一塊蛋糕。

??? The website NYCGA.net contains minutes from all of the general assembly meetings. Organization information is openly available on Twitter and are categorized with hashtags like #OWS and #needsoftheoccupiers. Not all of those needs are being met, Wedes says, and many people participating still need food and clothes, most, if not all, of which come from donations.

????While occupiers are still struggling in some ways to meet its members' basic needs, OWS has met the intellectual needs of some tech-savvy supporters. Many programmers work for OWS after they finish their day jobs, Wedes says. This is a much-coveted population of potential hires for big business, and they're donating their brain space to OWS because they like the creative freedom. (In fact, one occupier was recently recruited for a job at a financial firm, of all places, while protesting in Zuccotti Park.)

????That creative freedom has led to some innovative solutions. A group of occupiers are developing a web application called "studio occupy." It's a video editing software that allows people to share raw footage that occupiers or supporters can edit collaboratively. OWS-friendly programmers are also coding a cloud-based calendar that should map out events, spaces and relevant knowledge, such as nearby police activity.

????The lack of a hierarchy may appeal to computer whizzes and programmers, a community plugged in to the DIY culture. While their overall aims still seem hazy to the rest of us as we put in time for our hard-earned paychecks. Those goals are forming, Wedes insists, and they will come to fruition outside of Washington and Wall Street.

????Ultimately, Wedes would like for these scatter-shot occupations to become sustainable communities. The next step will be to connect Occupy movements to nonprofits or small businesses to make them financially sustainable. Occupy Wall Street already has a small business working group. The plan for long-term sustainability should start to take shape, hopefully by next fall, Wedes says, since major social movements are more difficult to stage in the freezing cold (this winter will likely be hard enough).

????We'll see. In many ways, the global OWS movement is large and clunky -- full of competing agendas that make it difficult to identify common goals, much less accomplish them. But, in another way, OWS within certain regions already has the kind of organizational agility that many companies could probably copy, to their benefit. Wedes wanted to celebrate the one-month anniversary of OWS, but none of the protesters had the money for a $200 sheet cake. Within a day, Wedes says he found a bakery that would accept online, piecemeal donations from supporters, and the people at Zuccotti had their victory party.

????It was an example of successful, fast, crowd-sourced funding.

????So when you look at the cloud of drum circles, meetings and angst that is Occupy Wall Street, there may not be a coherent message or strategy, but there is a nascent one. And for now, at least, there is sometimes cake.
