Why the term “wekosystem”?

• “we” signifies we the collaborators or peers.
• “ekosystem” signifies the web (network) of the system.
• The ‘K” in weKosystem signifies that the main resource that is exchanged during the interactions is the knowledge.

What are the objectives of the wekosystem?

To maximise the time available to each of the peers. Since the total amount of time available to each person is limited, we maximise the time available to each person by collaboration, sharing, avoiding duplication, reuse of non-depletable resources. All this is achieved without allowing the possibility to create a proprietary socio-economic system.  Also see the page Objectives.

The members of the wekosystem are called peers, who is anyone who is stake holder in the system.

Who owns the assets of a wekosystem?

The assets are to be shared as per the decisions taken by the peers, based on their reppos.

What is revenue to the weKosystem?

Total income recieved by providing services and creation of products.

What is the profit to the system?

The system works for profit where the profit is the growth and reproduction of the system. Since a viable system implies happy peers, the profit gained is the wellbeing of everyone.

Who manages the project?

Any system  will initially begin with some core initiators as project coordinators to take the lead.  Eventually project coordination will also be available for bidding among the peers.

The role of the project coordinator is to specify the project goals, define roadmap, define tasks and subtasks for each roadmap. The members of the peer group will bid for the tasks and subtasks. The project coordinator in consultation with the manager on one hand and the peer group on the other will decide the cost of each task and the deadline for each project. All this will be documented on the project management page as a wiki, and hence all deliberations will be available and accessible to all the members of the group.  Accepting a task implies accepting the deadline as well.
