# Commons Stack Reboot (P4P)
|
|
|
|
**A peer-for-peer reboot of the Commons Stack, honoring the legacy of Michel Bauwens and serving as a sponsor of the P2P Foundation Wiki.**
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Vision
|
|
|
|
The Commons Stack Reboot is a grassroots initiative to revitalize and reimagine the Commons Stack ecosystem through a **peer-for-peer (P4P)** approach. We aim to:
|
|
|
|
- **Preserve and extend** Michel Bauwens' lifework as a librarian of the commons
|
|
- **Sponsor and sustain** the P2P Foundation Wiki as critical infrastructure for the commons movement
|
|
- **Build regenerative funding mechanisms** for commons-oriented projects
|
|
- **Create tools and frameworks** that embody commons-based peer production principles
|
|
|
|
## Background
|
|
|
|
### The Commons Stack Legacy
|
|
The original Commons Stack pioneered token engineering for the commons, introducing concepts like:
|
|
- Augmented Bonding Curves (ABCs)
|
|
- Commons governance frameworks
|
|
- Token-curated registries for commons goods
|
|
- The Trusted Seed community
|
|
|
|
### Michel Bauwens & The P2P Foundation
|
|
Michel Bauwens (1958-2024) dedicated his life to documenting, theorizing, and advocating for peer-to-peer alternatives. The P2P Foundation Wiki represents decades of accumulated knowledge about:
|
|
- Commons-based peer production
|
|
- Open cooperativism
|
|
- Partner state approaches
|
|
- Cosmo-local production
|
|
- Post-capitalist transition strategies
|
|
|
|
## The P4P Approach
|
|
|
|
**Peer-for-Peer** represents an evolution of P2P thinking:
|
|
- Not just peer-to-peer (horizontal exchange)
|
|
- But peers **for** peers (mutual care and regeneration)
|
|
- Embodying the principle: "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs"
|
|
|
|
## Project Areas

|
|
|
|
### 2. Funding Mechanisms
|
|
- Regenerative funding models for commons infrastructure
|
|
- Quadratic funding experiments
|
|
- Conviction voting implementations
|
|
- Mutual credit systems
|
|
|
|
### 3. Governance Innovation
|
|
- Sociocratic decision-making tools
|
|
- Consent-based proposal systems
|
|
- Commons governance templates
|
|
- Conflict transformation processes
|
|
|
|
### 4. Technology Commons
|
