We Want You!

Jim Harper and I have a new project in the works that you might be interested in. There's been a lot written in recent months about peer production, the term Yochai Benkler coined to describe decentralized, non-commercial projects like Linux and Wikipedia. We think that someone needs to write a paper explaining the the phenomenon and relating it to the ideals of economic freedom that we focus on here on TLF. And just for fun, we'd like to try a little experiment: can a paper about peer production be produced using peer production? We've set up a wiki, and we'd like to invite the libertarian open source geeks of the world to stop by and help us explain what peer production is, why it works so well, and how it's related to economic freedom. If the project takes off, we plan to pitch it for publication by a major think tank. Please join us! Contribute a sentence, a paragraph, or a whole section. Peer producing a paper about peer production... it's so meta!
