Let's Recommon IT

Guides, governance, and theory for building and running information technology at community scale, so it's owned, understood, and governed by the people who use it.

The site is a table. Each row is a thread. Each column is a level of rules, from Elinor Ostrom's institutional analysis: guides for day-to-day work, governance for how rules are made and who makes them, and theory for what the whole thing is for. Why it's built this way.

Every piece explains a set of patterns. Any open cell can be written by anyone.
