| Topic pages are the main content in this knowledge commons wiki, and they are intended to offer knowledge that is useful, either practically, or to understanding all things around the commons.

So, we want to provide here a page that clarifies what we mean, if we reckon that it may not be clear. | Topic pages are the main content in this knowledge commons wiki, and they are intended to offer knowledge that is useful, either practically, or to understanding all things around the commons.

While what we mean by, say, [[duck:ducks]] is pretty clear, what different people mean by "market" may differ substantially. What we aim to do here is to have a consensus view on the concept, as closely related to "commons" as we can, but leave individual contributors and curators to add their own commentary to supplement the consensus view. | Interesting concepts, particularly if they are relatively new, may have different significance and meaning to different people.
