Touiza in Algeria

Touiza is the word our ancestrals used to describe a society that helps each other.
in the late 60 s I remember having seen a big gathering were people from our village were helping each other to build ones house.

the same practice was done at harvesting time.

Nowadays , the custom still exists but in much lesser scale .

I just wanted to try to revive this practice , in all the fields. ie research , development, planning , brainstorming , etc..

Of course this will be as the original way , there will be no administrative constraints , no bureaucratic stuff , no politics involved . just the pure old fashion way . you can leave anytime without any prior notice , as well as you can enter without any procedures.

I still haven't studied how to implement this on the field, but I still believe this will work.
It can be something like the open software community . but this time without asking for anything in return.

I wonder if this can be implemented now.
