Freie-Gesellschaft-Wiki (Free Society Wiki), http://www.freie-gesellschaft.de/wiki/Hauptseite
The goal of this wiki is to find out whether and in which ways commons-based peer production has a potential that extends beyond the areas of free software and open content production where it has first emerged. It this just a phenomenon of limited relevance, or might it one day cover all aspects of production? Is a society possible in which peer production is the primary mode of production? If so, how could such a society be organized?
