Some p2p advocates argue that the global public awareness of p2p alternatives is not growing fast enough. Regardless of your position on that claim, there is a lot more that can be done to enhance the effectiveness of p2p outreach. This page exists to help define some positive future strategies.

  • people who are already familiar with the idea
  • total newcomers

A key mistake in current outreach is the failure to distinguish between the distinct needs of these two audiences.

For new "commoners"

  • a better way of filtering the volume of p2p examples that are newly created
  • more videos explaining the basics

For existing "commoners":

  • a better way of filtering the volume of p2p examples that exist
