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.

If so, how could such a society be organized?
