Fostering Commonfare. Infrastructuring Autonomous Social Collaboration
summary
A research consortium builds an H2020-funded platform to operationalize a “welfare of the common,” running pilots in three countries with eight partner organisations, targeting unemployed youth, migrants and freelancers and responding to EU precarity statistics (24% at risk, 8% severely deprived). Deliverables include iterative web releases of commonfare.net, a MediaWiki internal glossary to resolve multilingual bureaucratic terminology, and outreach tools; language and institutional constraints force continual tactical rework, and technical/legal fixes (including exploring cryptocurrencies for UBI) remain experimental.
