Even aside from their fall from grace,
…widely-read-at-the-time analyses…
I guess, one would read "Cathedral and the Bazaar" as historically influential text today, I am not sure how "strong" it is as analysis of commons based systems in the first place.

It's worth noting that while Richard Stallman and Eric S. Raymond played important roles historically and published widely-read-at-the-time analyses, both have had significant falls from grace since then and basing current analyses of the commons and other systems on their work should be done _very_ carefully.

If you're looking for general history on the digital commons movement, check out Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation, and Eric S. Raymond's *The Cathedral and the Bazaar*. A lot of the initial
Wikipedians
were very much in favor of open source and open content, and were quite familiar with those. I don't, to be quite honest, know about "E. Ostrom", and have never heard them discussed on-wiki, but of course other editors might be.
But if you really want to see the influence of the "commons" idea on Wikipedia, the open source software movement is going to be very relevant to what you want to look at. Mediawiki, the software that Wikipedia and other Wikimedia sites run on, is open source, and the technology stack underlying it is as well.

Hi everyone,
I'm currently doing a Ph.d on digital commons. I'm tracing the history
of
the "digital common" movement (if there is one). And I wanted to know
if
there are some studies about Wikipedians and their relation with the conceptual framework of the commons (do they feel like commoners ? Do
they
know E. Ostrom, etc.) Thanks a lot for your help ! Best regards,
