This observatory is under construction and not yet active. It is part of the WikiDeal observatories: citizen-run, participatory and volunteer-based.

The Potential Partners observatory is intended to watch organizations with which WikiDeal could cooperate rather than compete: foundations, networks, cooperatives and platforms bringing complementary strengths. A first list of potential partners already exists in the Competition & Cooperation observatory; this observatory would extend and maintain it, and prepare concrete cooperation proposals.

Commons-based communities

A first family of potential partners consists of commons-based communities, watched since the earlier open observatories:

  • Wikimedia Foundation: encyclopedia commons
  • Mozilla Foundation: open web
  • OpenStreetMap Foundation: geographic commons
  • Debian Project: free software distribution
  • P2P Foundation: research on commons-based peer production
  • Platform cooperatives: cooperative alternatives to extractive platforms
