Hi elf Pawlik,
its good to see the idea of moneyless societies grow, even though it seems still to be in its infancy, if not embryonic state.
one step of maturing would be to identify local structures that allow for multifaceted reliable moneyless life. The key question is how to replenish resources, so there is an intrinsic relation to the commons, but the commons are also a phenomenon that needs a bit of new understanding in our time. We have a global world and many layers of commons must come into interplay.
it would be good to also include and make visible the traditional networks that focus on this, including some monastic and community approaches.
With the advent of the internet, their global resonance is now possible. Maybe the lifestyle itself helps us to bridge between cultures. Israeli Kibbuzzim and Turkish or Arab clan economies could decide to freely exchange knowledge about technologies. Open Source Ecology (www.openfarmtech.org) could be an inspiring spark. Kai Ehlers in Germany is doing a lot of research in the post - soviet world.... Western communities are maturing ....
We started demonetize.it just weeks ago. You will find a lot of people and ideas there already. and its just one first approach to foster communication.....
I added some links, but I feel this needs serious research. And the research and experimentation is needed because the world is moving like never before.

Hi Everyone,
I have just put up a preview version (a prototype) of a new website I work on currenlty.
I aim to provide visual overview on worldwide development of networks related to moneless sharing and mutual support. Here I have list of other networks I would like too work on adding soon:
Please feel free to add links with recommendations of networks which you see related (preferably which have participants worldwide). Also, if you know people working on those networks who can help with providing geografical data about those networks, please help me get in touch with them =)
Thanks and I look forward to hear your feedback!
