Fautore Commons
The Fautore Commons is a strategy for syndictaing information to create a personal network beyond the origin tribe. It is a means of information sharing to a greater audience of interested people, and only interested people. The Commons is not a spam mechanism. The primary differentiating factor of information normally shared via Fautore, and that shared through a Commons, is that data shared by standard means is implicitely being shared in confidence, data shared through a Commons is expected to be passed along.
Concepts
There are a few concepts specific to a Commons that bear further explanation
Tribal Subscription
A Commons is tied to an application interface so that when the application component is updated data is passed to Fautore, which then distributes the information to subscribing tribes. Standard data distribution on the other hand is tied directly to tribe members. Source tribe Members wishing to receive the data being distributed through the Commons can become a recipient of the data via instructions tied to the source application or to the Commons itself.
Replication
Commons subscriptions are hierarchical. The originating tribe "A" pushes Commons data to subscribing tribe "B", where it then is available for subscription by other tribes "C". The defined Commons is then shared from "C" and so on it goes. Replication breadth is unlimited and need not stop at "Z". 
Remote Subscription
With standard data sharing definitions for who can contribute information, and who can read information are kept locally to the originating tribe. In the case of a Commons the shared information is pushed to a subscribing tribe and members subscribe to the pushed information locally to the tribe that received the push.
Unsubscription
Should a Commons subscribing tribe choose to unsubscribe the hosting tribe is notified, the subscription removed and direct decendent subscribers are notified and provided information necessary to subscribing at the point where the canceling tribe had orriginally subscribed.
Discontinuation
Should the Commons source tribe choose to discontinue publication, a notice of discontinuation is pushed to immediate subscribers and all subscriptions to the terminated Commons are removed. Recipients of discontinuation notices pass the discontinuation forward and eliminate all immediate decendent subscriptions. The process continues forward until the entire network is destroyed for that Commons.
Use Case
Scenario
Frank is a writer and has been working on "Angels in Hell," a mystery novel he has been working on for the last several months. Frank wants to cultivate prerelease interest, but he doesn't want to go mainstream quite yet. What he decides to do is publish periodic pieces that describe his book characters daily lives as if they are real people so people in his greater network can get familiar with his work.
Details
- Frank opens a "Hot Angels" Commons in his Tribe.
- Frank notifies others he knows with Fautore instances about the new Commons via his "Friends and Peers" Group in his "Writer's Block" Coterie.
- Fautore delivers the notifications via the various instructions associated with each recipient.
- Sarah, a recipient of one of Frank's notifications, has a Fautore Tribe and uses it to subscribe to Frank's "Hot Angels" Commons.
- A tribe-to-tribe replication of "Hot Angels" opens in Sarah's Tribe.
- The member's of Sarah's Tribe can now subscribe to "Hot Angels" locally and receive post notification as defined by Fautore instructions for each member.
- Should any members of Sarah's Tribe be running a Fautore Tribe their self, they could in turn subscribe to the "Hot Angels" commons at Sarah's tribe
- The cycle begins again
