[p2p-research] Peer production of peer production

[Matt Cooperrider]

Hi Michel,

Thank you for taking a close look.  Your first response advised me to break
down the research into modules and send specific questions to the list.  I
agree completely (and Howard Rheingold said something similar on the CoCo
list).  First, I'm going to step back to the 50,000 foot view for a bit, and
then focus back down to something more specific so that I can come up with
some specific questions.

So, whether I focus on open manufacturing, political campaigns, etc., will
be determined by this exercise.  My thinking right now is that I will focus
on the open design of a web service - an actual fully functional website and
online community (not merely the open source codebase on which such a web
service might run).

So here's a specific question:  What are some examples of online community
web services in which the members are directly involved in the management of
the web service?

I expect the next mutation to arrive in mid-February.

Best,
Matt
