Some further observations. I think that the interesting social innovation of peer production is the recognition that democracy, and the market, and hierarchy are allocation systems for scarcity, and are not necessery for non-rival or anti-rival goods (those goods that get more value by sharing,and get no loss from sharing), so that in a context of abundance, individuals can contribute what they want, and use what they need. Everyone who contributes has a say, ‘meritocratic contributors’ do not get more votes when issues are discussed. At the same time, for the management of rival resources, such as the infrastructure of cooperation that is needed, defending the code base from attack etc .. They have built democratic institutions. OWS has the same structure, exactly the same. If you contribute, you can access the general assembly; and similarly the Working Groups in charge of provisioning have democratic structures. The important thing is that peer production is for active projects, where people construct something in common. It’s not a model that needs to be generalized to other spheres. For example, the necessity for caring about say a common territorial resource.
