Hi Vasilis and all!
One of the comments after my talk in Nantes last week was about
democracy in peer production. The guy was somewhat puzzled when I
insisted that peer production is in general not democratic. I think
this topic of (non-)democracy in peer production puzzles lots of
people so this thread comes in handy to discuss this further.
I agree, free soft communities (I do not speak about other p2p, because I
dont know) are highly
hierarquical, as usual in movements developed over anarquist ideas,
creative, intelectual an art focused, a small group of people gives the
"brain power" that leads. Others follows and contribute.
