Commendations<\/h2>\n
\n

Reviewer A:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This article (a) replaces FLOSS within a historical tradition of participatory politics and production and (b) applies an interesting definition of collaborative platforms, previously seen in the \u201cBirds of a Feather\u201d article, to FLOSS. The authors took on some reviewer suggestions, such as examining the different analytical categories rather than each project separately, but \u2013 perhaps unavoidably given the breadth of this topic and the space constraints – did not account for issues such as the protection against injustice when no formal roles exist. The article represents an important first step towards a systematic understanding of the factors leading to collaborative production development.<\/p>\n

Reviewer B:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The comparison between FOSS and the literature on “industrial democracy” is both unusual and highly relevant. The article contributes to the development of more precise, analytical distinctions that can be helpful for distinguishing between the degrees of autonomy in different FOSS projects. It is an important paper.<\/p>\n
