Category:Commons Infrastructure
In this category, we will attempt to categorize commons infrastructures following the NORA Commons Resource Model (Needs, Organisational Forms, Resources for Abundance), suggested by Wolfgang Hoeschele and the Commons Abundance Network.

See also the category Commons Abundance Network where Wolfgang Hoeschele is developing the NORA approach specifically. The Commons Abundance Network website is now being developed and will soon be the home of the NORA project.
