Simon Grant

I'm an transdisciplinary commoner working in the few fields where my sense is that I have most to uniquely contribute.

Having lived in a shared student house, a co-housing community for 7 years, and now since 2020 in a micro-community of four older adults, I have something to say about intentional communities and cohousing. I've also been a keen user of and advocate for Open Source software.

For many years I've been a contributor to wikis; and I have my own (DokuWiki) wiki. I've written a lot about knowledge commons. This here wiki is a great example of what I see as a knowledge commons, and I'm proud to be one of the core designers of and contributors to it.

I'm one of the pioneering commoners setting up this wiki. Katja and I have used our experience with wikis and particularly DokuWiki to lead the design and structure of this wiki. Recently, I've been working on the documentation, and I'm helping to look for commoner curators for various topics, particularly for topics in the groups:

• Digital & media
• Learning & personal development

I have grown out of paid work so I have no formal affiliations. You can see my present connections on my home page.

I also have user pages at

• P2P Foundation wiki
• Wikipedia
• etc.!
