Thanks for your comments! As for local food systems and local/cooperative economies, we’re curious and willing to explore non-digital goods and processes as well, given that they are able to produce also some kind of digital or clearly copylefted output in some form, so others can learn/improve/benefit from that.

We’re working hard these days to open the platform first in Spanish, but already translating the interface to other languages and hopefully become soon more like a “global” tool.

I am interested in using the Internet to promote the value of workers cooperatives as well as helping people work together to create sustainable local economies.

Really appreciate this approach as well,

for 3 reasons:
(1) the concept in general is convincing

(2) I’m interested in being funded this way (see: http://myNeat.net)

(3) I’m willing to support Goteo, because of (1)

But I would like to read the website in English .

BTW I’m living in Berlin

Great ideas and concepts! I am also keen to start using information technology to show people where they are having a real impact on various commons. In my case, this applies towards local food systems. However, I can also see how goteo contributions (or any p2p funding contributions) could have these kinds of metrics.
