Hi Matt, I noticed Appleseed on there. Almost forgot about it. Thanks for the links!! Giovanni On Sun, Jan 9, 2011 at 11:02 PM, Matt Cooperrider < [email protected]> wrote:
Hi All,
Can't contribute to this project but I wanted to share a useful resource:
http://wiki.umuse.org/Initial_Notes
It's a backburner project of Phil Ashlock of OpenPlans:
This is a forum to help facilitate and unify the discourse on how to evolve existing web technologies to deliver the promise of user-centric identity<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_2.0>. As identity standards begin to coalesce we must consider the implications for existing systems and services. By attempting to implement identity standards as they evolve and by considering the potential they unleash we can better inform their standardization process. However, the focus here isn't simply about adapting technologies to enable identity interoperability, it's more about creating a collaborative environment to coordinate how these technologies should evolve within a user-centric environment.
Lots of useful links to projects here. Good survey of the application layer in the space you are discussing.
Cheers, Matt

" * YaCy is a search engine where many nodes share information to build a distributed index. * Status.Net is a microblogging system that allows users to run their own Twitter-like site and federate selected streams with other systems. * Tahoe-LAFS is a high-redundancy file system that allows many systems to contribute to an encrypted and distributed storage system which nonetheless remains readable only to the owner of the files and not to the owner of the storage .... * Diaspora will hopefully be a social networking community where users can run their own federated "pods", thus owning their personal data and directly controlling what is shared with who. * OpenPGP encryption is based on self-issued certificates which gain authority as a result of a web of trust expressed via user- maintained keyrings rather than a hierarchical certificate authority system that can be centrally compromised. * There is discussion and prototyping of a P2P DNS in progress, without a root authority but rather with federated authority...
... * Various federated identity approaches already exist for different use-cases, using mechanisms like OAuth and SAML. * Various experiments in using P2PTV video streaming technology exist, where the video stream is sourced from nearby users rather than always from a central provider. * And of course there are many P2P file distribution systems, as well as the GNUNet framework project.."
