Hmmm,
P2P medicine/healthcare yes that is one, and one in which a natural commons exists. After all Vitamin C is vitamin C. The main argument for proprietary medicines is the cost to produce and test it but proprietary medicine results in regulations, insurance complexities and lawsuits. I'll be you a dollar someone is thinking of a more efficient means based on OS ideas.
I'll add your suggestion. If anyone is interested in adding their bit as they explore the p2p wiki, the how to contribute page is here:

one thing led to another and i ended up finding this gem: an online course in podcast format from Berkeley University:
Open Source Development and Distribution of Digital Information: Technical, Economic, Social, and Legal Perspectives
syllabus: http://harbinger.sims.berkeley.edu/osdddi/f06/Syllabus
podcasts: http://webcast.berkeley.edu/courses/archive.php?seriesid=1906978370
the course is nearing the end; so it is very fresh and a very appropriate follow up to this workshop

Bruno,
This is great. Thank you.
UC Berkely is doing some great stuff in terms of practicing what they preach. They made these lectures available for everyone, the syllabus is a wiki, and other courses have been video taped and are now up on Google video.
My favorite is Dr. Marian Diamond's Integrative Biology 131.

This is very interesting, especially Wikipedia as open source project. I have been involved in Wikipedia for a couple of years now and have attended the two conferences Wikimania in Frankfurt 2005 and in Boston 2006.
I am right now developing a set of learning objects for teachers and teacher education students about wikis and most of it intigrate various wikimedia projects. I make it requirement for my students to write articles in Icelandic Wikipedia and learning content, webquests, Internet Scavenger hunts etc in Icelandic wikibooks and upload pictures they use in Wikipedia Commons.
My learning objects called (The wiki school bus) are at http://wiki.khi.is but right now the site is only in Icelandic. Hopefully I will have time soon to translate some of it and explain my ideas about using wikibooks-wikimedia-commons together and why I think that is important for teachers.
