[P2P-F] a dream project for the p2p foundation, who can help?

Dear friends, and Vasilis in particular,

see
http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Peergovernance#For_Historical_Inspirationand
in particular the historical experiences in democracy it leads to:

   1. Athenian Democracy <http://p2pfoundation.net/Athenian_Democracy>
; Foundations
   of Athenian Democracy<http://p2pfoundation.net/Foundations_of_Athenian_Democracy>
   2. Iroquois Confederacy‎‎ <http://p2pfoundation.net/Iroquois_Confederacy>
   3. European Medieval
Democracy<http://p2pfoundation.net/European_Medieval_Democracy>
   4. Viking Democracy <http://p2pfoundation.net/Viking_Democracy>
   5. Pirate Governance <http://p2pfoundation.net/Pirate_Governance>
   6. Paris Commune<http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Peergovernance?title=Paris_Commune&action=edit&redlink=1>

I would really love to make this a collective research and study project for
the P2P Foundation ..

This would involve making a bibliography, finding where the material can be
found online, and then organizing some process to read and discuss together,
eventually with the aim of publishing a book. We could take one year to
brush up on the history; another year to study actual peergovernance and
contemporary proposals (6 months each);

I feel that finding a renewal of democracy is really one of the crucial
issues of our time.

However, I'd like someone to take the lead on this .. Vasilis, I was
particularly thinking about you ...

Michel
