Domains are organized in sections, using mediawiki software, whereby section pages are used as introduction to the complexity of the domain, and each section represents its own encyclopedia.\n\nFor example, documentation is organized around the following thematics:\n\n- Impact and contribution measurement, reporting, and valuation, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:P2P_Accounting \n- Commons governance, self-organization, and decision-making, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Peergovernance \n- Collaborative knowledge management, learning, and sensemaking, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Intelligence ; https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Education \n- Open protocols, community templates, and coordination infrastructure, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Standards ; https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Mutual_Coordination \n- Community currencies, cooperatives, and alternative economics. https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Money ; https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Credit_Commons \n- Decentralized project management, roles, and certifications , N/A \n- Resource allocation, funding mechanisms, and funding sources, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Peerfunding\n\n\nWe also have sections on how these functions are applied in specialized domains of activity (Housing, Health, Transportation, etc ..), and pay attention to specific developments in crypto\nFor example, we monitor,\n\n- Developments in crypto governance, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Crypto_Governance \n- Developments in the crypto economy, https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Category:Crypto_Governance \n\n\nWe believe we can propose the following strategy:\n\n\n1- A review of the many open source, open design and free software tools that were developed in parallel with the more recent Web3 crypto tools. We propose to produce a synthesis of what the open and commons movements and projects have already achieved, using a combination of synthetic AI and human-produced analysis; we also want to produce overview graphics that can introduce users to achievements and capabilities achieved in a particular domain.\n\n2- An update of this synthesis focused on Web3 updates, improvements and innovations\n\n3- Building technical bridges from our Mediawiki based infrastructure, to Web3 technologies, making a selection of the best material available in new ways, perennialized and protected on a blockchain.\n\n\nWe believe the P2P Foundation, with its fifteen years of experience in documenting the P2P movement, is uniquely suited to be documentary partners of more technically oriented collaborators.\n\n", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "", "projectTwitter": "P2P_Foundation"}, "recipient": "0xa8c871B9298A515845233a245FF59cA7f30eF434"}}
