Hi StefanMn and all-
I'm starting a new thread to not overlap with the discussion
about process
/
periodicity.
I snipped some bits which were unproblematic.

* Suggested title:
Critical Studies in Peer Production
I did hear no voice against this title so it seems to me like
this is
consensus.
M: OK, good.
* Suggested definitions / mission statement:
A mission statement is a very good idea. It is something
everyone can
refer to and it should be a guiding light.
Typical mission statements are short - say 3-6 lines. I think that's
good. I'll give it a try:
This semi-scientific journal is dedicated to study peer
production.> By peer production we understand economic
activities which include,
production, openness and {are primarily done by
volunteers /
external structural forces are absent / non-alienation}
such as Free
Software or Wikipedia. Following the principles of peer
production> ourselves we are interested in every field
where peer production
plays a role. For this we welcome contributions from classical
science as well as from activists of all kinds to foster
the deeper
understanding of this phenomenon and the political
implications it
might have.
I propose:
This pluralistic and transdisciplinary research journal is
dedicated to the
critical study of peer production, i.e. the social and economic
productionof value through self-aggregating communities in every
field of human
endeavour, with special interest for its inter-relation with
markets and
state forms.
