New introduction to peer to peer, for beginners

Mauro Bieg has just rejoined the ranks of our wiki-contributors.

He wrote us that he wanted to tackle some of the complexity of our writings and presentations, which are certainly not accessible to everybody:

I feel like all the free culture, creative commons, free software, open source, open access, anti-DRM, etc. movements have a lot in common (although they have their differences too). That’s why I wrote a simple but comprehensive text for newcomers to make them understand easily what all this is mostly about, and where (I think) it is essentially heading: a choice or even a battle between ‘the proprietary’ and ‘the free’ in various fields.”

This introduction, which also comes with a much nicer visual presentation, is now completed, it is called P2P in a Nutshell and is available here.
