Great article Simon, thank you. I founded Lowimpact.org in 2001, and I'd now like to use the Lowimpact resources and topics to help build a knowledge commons for the 'Growing the Commons' movement, and help recruit specialist practitioners to steward / update / look after it.

I don't need to tell you, Dave, but I'll tell everyone else that I'm looking forward to collaborating on this. Look out here for my following articles on knowledge commons and knowledge commoning, or take a sneak preview on my own wiki.

Would anyone like me to write more along the lines of … why the way I'm proposing that we collectively arrange knowledge commons is more likely to be useful; not to be yet another of those efforts that runs for a couple of years and then just fades away? There are plenty of faded ones, and only very few ones that continue to thrive. Why?

I co-founded in 2010 the now-defunct Schol of Commoning, Its Knowledge Garden has a rich collection of Ccommons-related materials, available for curation by the knowledge commons, here: https://thebristolcommons.org/soc ,

Thanks, George, I've included a reference to the School of Commoning in a later post!
