Peer Production

These days I'm busy checking the feasibility of QTpetya - an encyclopedia about pets.
It will be a demonstration of QTsearch features and it will complement Wikipedia.
For example:
If there is an article on Wikipedia about "Siamese cat" - since Wikipedia doesn't update content related to "Siamese cat" – I'll write an article about the same subject which will have regularly updated content, powered by QTSaver search.

A friend who heard about my plan commented that it is somewhat like peer production but using software (QTSaver) in the place of humans to create content.

What the heck is peer production?

Yale Law School professor Yochai Benkler coined the term peer production to describe "the emergence of a vibrant, innovative and productive collaboration, whose participants are not organized in firms and do not choose their projects in response to price signals." Peer production is part and parcel of what I call the culture of participation -- that is, the explosion of user-generated goods (mostly digital), including open-source software, the Wikipedia online encyclopedia, blogs, podcasts, and photo-sharing sites like Flickr.

In the past three or four years, public attention has focused on a fifteen-year-old social-economic phenomenon in the software development world. This phenomenon, called free software or open source software, involves thousands or even tens of thousands of programmers contributing to large and small scale project, where the central organizing principle is that the software remains free of most constraints on copying and use common to proprietary materials. No one "owns" the software in the traditional sense of being able to command how it is used or developed, or to control its disposition. The result is the emergence of a vibrant, innovative and productive collaboration, whose participants are not organized in firms and do not choose their projects in response to price signals.

In other words peer production is Web 2.0.
