Welcome to The DisCO Deck Wiki!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The DisCO Deck project is a platform to help (Dis)tributed (C)o-operative (O)rganizations in implementing their governance; flows of value from raw material, labor, to finished product; and other aspects of DisCOs. Currently, tracking all of the issues and flows is difficult because many aspects are siloed into specific tools or locked into other networks of value (like time tracking software, document editing software, specific currencies, social networks, etc.). The goal of this project is iterative streamlining of DisCO operation.

## DisCOs

If you're wondering, _What is a DisCO?_, here's a quick answer:
|
|

|
|
|
It's a Distributed Co-operative Organization with DNA that embodies

### CommunityRule
|
|
|
|
|
|
> CommunityRule is a governance toolkit for great communities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Too many of our communities adopt default governance practices that rely on the unchecked authority of founders, admins, or moderators, lacking even basic features of small-scale democracy. The purpose of CommunityRule is to help communities establish appropriate norms for decision-making, stewardship, and culture.

### ValueFlows
|
|
|
|
|
|
When we talk about flows of value, the technical vocabulary is pulled from ValueFlows. This is really simply a vocabulary that shows how agents transform resources into other resources. Rinse, repeat. ValueFlows happens to be based on an existing RDF ontology, REA (resource, event, agent).

### Interledger
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interledger is a protocol stack for routing and clearing payments through a distributed financial architecture and automatically settling those payments through many possible underlying systems, which may may not include various blockchains. It is akin to the Automated Clearing House (ACH) in the USA, the EBA Clearing network in the Single European Payment Area (SEPA), AusPayNet in Australia, VisaNet, and SWIFT for international transfers. It is more flexible in its design the the above, and can actually be seen as an upgrade to ISO8583 (financial card spec with a hierarchical addressing scheme, like a credit card).
