Criteria (for inclusion)

In very general terms, you are welcome to include any project that has a significant participative or collaborative aspect. We aim to find such projects that redefine the way business is done and how the market operates; the way government is done or how the state operates; the way society functions and how civil society operates. The latter includes the wide field of cultural expression as well.

More strictly defined, this is what defines peer production projects in the narrow sense:

• open input: contributions must be ‘permissionless’
• participatory production and governance process: contributors must have a say ; transparency and openness of the collaborative processes
• commons-oriented output: the results of the collaborative must be shareable, i.e. use of commons-oriented licences

However, for the purpose of the projects, which is also interested in all hybrid and mixed projects that invite external collaboration, these criteria should be seen as polarities.

Projects that enter within the scope of this mapping project are:

• commons-based peer production
• open innovation, co-creation, co-design
• crowdsourcing and crowdfunding
• participatory governance and political projects such as participatory legislation, planning, budgetting
• projects focused on openness, such as open data etc ..
• projects focused on wider inclusion and participation of broader layers of the population
• ethical economy projects where profit-making is subsumed to wider “for-benefit” considerations, i.e. social economy, ethical economy, solidarity economy
• any project involving a measure of mutualization of knowledge (open source, free licenses) and infrastructure (collaborative consumption) ; including workplaces (coworking, hackerspaces, fablabs, etc ..)
• projects involving distributed infrastructures such as meshworks for communication, distributed machinery such as 3D Printing
• political and social movements that support any of the above
