Read this in “Cooperation in Business” (PDF, ~900kB), Elinor Ostrom (t d f)’s design principles. I think here we have some very clear hints how to design and deploy social software.

- Match rules for resource use to local needs
- Allow those affected to modify the rules
- Support mutual monitoring on individuals
- Enforce graduated sanctions
- Provide low-cost conflict resolution
- Build multiple layers of governance
