Outstanding Tasks for Categorization
- Categorize Michel Bauwens's ordered Book into the Category:P2P Theory
- Categorize uncategorized pages into at least one of the sub-subcategories of the Category:P2P Foundation Knowledge Commons
- Categorize pages with a country category. See Category:World for examples
