Thanks for sharing your thoughts, reading through and reviewing the work done allow me to gain more context and form my own opinion.
I agree there is a bit of miss-alignment between the work done by Garden Swarm and the future vision 1hive has for Gardens. I consider the main issue was not scoping the work with enough input from the 1hive community.
The work so far as I understood has focused on create a new organization flavor tailored for managing Commons. This new template is a great addition to the 1hive Garden and I think a great way to align once again is consider on the upcoming deliverables a wat to generalize previous work. For example, updating the honey-pot site to include the converter + hatch functionalities.
I would like to add that this Swarm has done great on self organize, form an awesome team and they have been responsive to the community feedback
