What we do and share here . . 2 Commoning - A pattern language
What we make and share elsewhere . .
Here we present resources on pattern language - history, examples, how-to.
** The foprop frame**
Here we offer a frame for conceptualising **practice**; specifically **activist** practice: notably the practice of **making the living economy**. It furnishes the frame for a **pattern language of commoning**.
Here we outline a 'work-oriented design' relationship between pattern language, the basic activities of commoning, and infrastructuring practices with tools.
**foprop** = forces of production, relations of production. The project has five streams of work in progress, oriented to the conduct of a transformational **activist life**, and making **a Living Economy** of **P2P-commons**.
**Commoning**

A framework for understanding commons & commoning, developed by David Bollier & SIlke Helfrich, and included in *Free, fair & alive - The insurgent power of the commons* (2019).

The way fedwiki works is different from ordinary pages that we typically see in a web browser. The 'space' of a fedwiki is more complex - genuinely a hypertext space - than the typical hierarchical website. At the same time, some of the means of navigating are not obvious: fedwiki is powerful but can confuse newcomers. Here we highlight some basic means, and some further insights into fedwiki.
