Collaboration

The Wikimedia Foundation has appealed a Turkish court decision to block access to the world's largest encyclopedia, Wikipedia, in what is the first official step taken against the ruling that came after an administrative measure on the website.

Turkey has blocked access to online encyclopedia Wikipedia, the country's telecommunications watchdog said on April 29, citing a law allowing it to ban access to websites deemed obscene or a threat to national security.

Turkey has been home to some inspiring projects, organizations and communities in the recent years that offer alternatives to today's market-based, monetized economy. Gift economy, sharing economy, crowdfunding, collaborative consumption and mesh economy are some of these alternative systems gaining more followers each day.
