Public

Idea: "The unbillionaires list", to promote contributors to the common.

A collaborative website that lists people who created something useful to millions but purposedly choose to put in in the common and didn’t earn money directly from it (or not as much as expected)

Besides those listed in https://ploum.net/2026-01-22-why-no-european-google.html

I would add Henri Dunant (Red Cross, he died in great poverty), Didier Pittet (who invented the hydroalcoolic gel we now use everyday).

Why there’s no European Google?
