      The Handbook of Peer Production has emerged from a community of researchers, practitioners, and activists who share a belief in the virtue of open collaboration. We are grateful for this community’s existence and hope we have been equal to the task of documenting its work. Academic books are always collective endeavors; we are immensely thankful to those who have helped us in bringing this project forward.

      The Handbook chapters were peer reviewed by the three editors. In addition, Chapter 1 (“The Duality of Peer Production”), Chapter 29 (“What’s Next?”), and Chapter 30 (“Be Your Own Peer!”) which we co‐wrote, were reviewed by Sébastien Broca. His insightful comments played a substantial part in making our arguments more coherent, so we express our heartfelt thanks for his contribution.

      Our congratulations to all the authors who worked hard to follow our timeline and recommendations for a job well done – especially those who came to the project late as others had to drop out. We are also grateful that Yochai Benkler and Helen Nissenbaum allowed us to reprint their article “Commons‐Based Peer Production and Virtue.” Thanks to Nils Borchers, George Dafermos, Chris Giotitsas, Vasilis Kostakis, Arwid Lund, and Denise Thwaites for their help during the course of the project.

      At Wiley, our thanks go to Haze Humbert who encouraged us to embark on this three‐year endeavor, to Kartiga Ramalingam and Janani Govindankutty who helped us navigate legal issues, as well as to Kelley Baylis, Todd Green, Skyler Van Valkenburgh, and Andrew Minton who supported the volume through various stages of production. Finally, our thanks to Rosemary Morlin for copy‐editing and to Aijth Kumar for putting together the volume’s index.

      Mathieu would like to thank Stefan Merten and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation for flying him to the United Kingdom from Australia to attend the 4th Oekonux conference in Manchester back in the day. In Manchester I met for the first time Michel Bauwens, George Dafermos, Johan Söderberg, Athina Karatzogianni, Stefan Merten, and many other researchers and activists. The conference was so much fun and so inspiring that during the closing plenary session I proposed setting up a journal, which eventually became the Journal of Peer Production. On the way to Manchester from London I had made a stop at the Oxford Internet Institute to attend a workshop on online governance organized by two (at the time) emerging researchers: Malte Ziewitz and Christian Pentzold. Years later, Christian and I sometimes bumped into each other at academic conferences and after I suggested we collaborate, he came up with the idea for this Handbook. Sophie Toupin, who by then had joined the Journal of Peer Production editorial team, had complementary research interests and she proved the perfect choice to join us. Working with Christian and Sophie on this labor of love has been a wonderful and enriching experience.
