How can I get support from / collaborate with
a Phyle ?
( or a cooperative ? )

Is there an explanatory video ? ( as the Mondragon excerpt below )

http://p2pfoundation.net/Phyles

to go through a step by step approach,
and converge legal and financial know how + capital

in setting up a "p2p compliant" officially / financially / legally recognized
structure / cooperative / business / community organization ?

//

Lets say, I want to start a small cooperative, with a few engineer friends,
as to enable the Research and Development and construction of
modular , tensegrity based tents

( example http://sharewiki.org/en/Nomad_Tribe )

or,
lets say,
I need a housing scheme to converge friends into a ongoing collective,

buy housing and production space

( example http://sharewiki.org/en/Leipzig_project )

and buy land to produce crops for the ongoing collective

I notice, for example,
In relation to "Launching a New Cooperative",

a 1979 Documentary on the Mondragon Cooperative excerpt :

Mondragon Cooperative Documentary from the 70 ies ( ? )

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondrag%C3%B3n_Cooperative_Corporation

The MONDRAGON Corporation is a corporation and federation of worker cooperatives based in the Basque region of Spain.

It also set up its own bank-financial system

and in relation to the town of Mondragon

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondrag%C3%B3n

Noted poverty expert and sociology professor Barbara J. Peters (Southampton College, Long Island University) has studied the incorporated and entirely resident-owned Basque town of Mondragón, Spain. "In Mondragón, I saw no signs of poverty. I saw no signs of extreme wealth," Peters said. "I saw people looking out for each other…..It's a caring form of capitalism.”
