[p2p-research] [P2PFNL] Ning and Knol

[Michel Bauwens]

Here is a list of infrastructure projects that have a similar spirit, see
http://p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Exchange_Infrastructure_Projects

I'm putting you also in touch with Francois Rey, who I think has very
similar ambitions.

Your input (Martien and everybody else) on these two proposals below, via
our blog, would also be very welcome:

1) does it make sense to have complementary currencies for user-generated
content?

2) should some public property be converted into common property?
