Commoning

Here we offer a basic map of contributions in the meet.coop commons.

In a commons (and thus, in meet.coop) there are three basic kinds of contribution - three constitutive modes of practice:

- Provisioning the commoned means (aka curating or cultivating the commons) > In the schema a collaborating community of members of the commons comprises a number of kinds of actors (members) making distinct Contributions). The commoned means are shown as a Stack of digitally mediated spaces.

- Stewarding the commoned means, and the practices of the commons > It's the stewarding that makes it a commons. Without that it's simply an unregulated common pool. A commons is basically a constellation of practices (in relation to some stuff), rather than a collection of stuff. Stewarding is a central class of practices.

- Mobilising the commoned means (aka enjoying the commons) in communities of life and work. > Typically these communities also may be commons. Commons overlap. Thus we continually must deal with Commons of commons. And map them. How to do this is our concern in this wiki.

The traffic is not just one way. Members do not only contribute to the coop. Because meet.coop is a commons, the coop also contributes to the life and work of members, and thus - because what we provide is infrastructure for organising - to the wider communities of which they are part. see Modes of contribution in the wider community
