Hi Michel,

I find the list of Innovative Aspects of Peer Production Practice you give
below were interesting--I know that you have referred to various of them
before, but I cannot remember having seen the whole list. Do you have a
more
"quotable" reference for that list, a blog post or article maybe? I would
like to cite it in an upcoming article...

Thanks and best regards
       Christian

B. Innovative Aspects of Peer Production Practice
Peer production carries with it many different fundamental innovations,
that are starkly different from traditional business practice. Here are a
number of these practices, contrasted with the practices of the market
and
the business firm:

   - Anti-Credentialism, refers to the inclusiveness of peer production.
   What matters is the ability to carry out a particular task, not any
formal
   apriori credential ( >< credentialism).

   - Anti-Rivalry ; see also: Anti-Rivalness of Free Software: sharing
the
   created goods does not diminish the value of the good, but actually
   enhances it ( >< rivalry).

   - Communal Validation: the quality control is not a 'a priori'
condition
   of participation, but a post-hoc control process, usually
community-driven
   ( >< hierarchical control).

   - Distribution of Tasks: there are no roles and jobs to be performed,
   only specific tasks to be carried out ( >< division of labor).

   - Equipotentiality: people are judged on the particular aspects of
their
   being that is involved in the execution of a particular task ( ><
people
   ranking).

   - For Benefit: (Benefit Sharing; Benefit-Driven Production). The
   production aims to create use value or 'benefits' for its user
community,
   not profits for shareholders ( >< for-profit).

   - Forking: the freedom to copy and modify includes the possibility to
   take the project into a different direction ( >< one authorized
version).

   - Granularity: refers to the effort to create the smallest possible
   modules (see Modularity infra), so that the treshold of participation
for
   carrying out tasks is lowered to the lowest possible extent.

   - Holoptism; transparency is the default state of information about
the
   project; all additions can be seen and verified and are sourced ( ><
   panoptism).

   - Modularity: tasks, products and services are organized as modules,
   that fit with other modules in a puzzle that is continuously
re-assembled;
   anybody can contribute to any module.

   - Negotiated Coordination: conflicts are resolved through an ongoing
and
   mediated dialogue, not by fiat and top-down decisions ( ><
centralized and
   hierarchical decision-making).

   - Permissionlessness: one does not need permission to contribute to
the
   commons ( >< permission culture).

   - Produsage: there is no strict separation between production and
   consumption, and users can produce solutions ( >< production for
   consumption).

   - Stigmergy: there is a signalling language that permits system needs
to
   be broadcast and matched to contributions.
