Michel, I think a wiki entry (or rather a series of entries) would probably be the best format for a collection or a listing of what's out there, what projects are in progress. I could do some work on this, but perhaps we have others who could contribute to the wiki directly. It could then also be structured much better, so we don't mix communications infrastructure with p2p manufacturing and other stuff. I see the page on Category:Technology on the wiki has a bit of everything. My idea would be to organize this in a more structured way. Perhaps the Category:Technology could be re-named Category:Technology:Overview and then other pages could go under Category:Technology such as Category:Technology:Communication Category:Technology:Manufacturing Category:Technology:P2P-Software I'm not good at those categorizations, but you get the idea. It would make for less heavy pages on those subcategories, easier to get into and to contribute.

Thanks to Giovanni for this overview,
Sepp, would you agree to work on some kind of overview mapping of these different projects, in 2011, so that people could easily see what is going on?
what kind of layered organisation schema could we use to make most sense of it?
please also note http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Standards and http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Technology

" * 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.."
