|
|
|
|
*A running collection of ideas, half-formed thoughts, and provocations. Nothing here is committed — it's a space for generative thinking.*

|
## Funding Mechanisms
|
|
|
|
### Wiki Sponsorship Model
|
|
- Tiered sponsorship for P2P Foundation Wiki
|
|
- Recognition without capture (no editorial control)
|
|
- Matching funds for grassroots donations
|
|
- "Adopt a page" micro-patronage
|
|
|
|
### Regenerative Funding Loop
|
|
- Revenue from commons tooling → Wiki maintenance
|
|
- Consulting/education services → Infrastructure fund
|
|
- Merchandise/publications → Community commons
|
|
|
|
### Quadratic Funding Rounds
|
|
- Regular funding rounds for commons projects
|
|
- Community allocation of matching pool
|
|
- Integration with Gitcoin, clr.fund, or custom
|
|
|
|
### Mutual Credit Systems
|
|
- Time-banking for contributor hours
|
|
- Inter-project credit clearing
|
|
- Skills exchange network
|
|

## Governance Ideas
|
|
|
|
### Sociocratic Circles
|
|
- Domain-based working circles
|
|
- Consent-based decision making
|
|
- Elected facilitators and delegates
|
|
|
|
### Advice Process
|
|
- Anyone can make decisions after seeking advice
|
|
- Transparency of reasoning
|
|
- Accountability to affected parties
|
|
|
|
### Lazy Consensus
|
|
- Proposals pass unless blocked
|
|
- Blocks must come with alternatives
|
|
- Time-limited discussion periods
|
|
|
|
### Conviction Voting
|
|
- Continuous voting with accumulated weight
|
|
- Prevents plutocracy through time preference
|
|
- Good for ongoing resource allocation
|
|
