Guys,<br>
�<br>
I'm in the process of hacking together a (really) rough version of a
peer<br>
decision making system. The major points are:<br>
�<br>
�<br>
- The system is decentralized (running on a peer to peer network)<br>
- The system stores its own reference content (we are not feeding off
of<br>
the already existing web)<br>
- There is a structured, systematic process for argumentation. The
idea<br>
is not so much using logic to prove somebody correct or incorrect,
but<br>
simply to help the group decide what it believess is a good decision.<br>
�<br>
�<br>
The first two points have been done over and over so many times that
they<br>
are relatively straight forward to implement at this point. However the
last<br>
point is the one I really need all of your help with. In fact I was at
first<br>
inclined to implement this over Freenet at first(Seriously guys, most<br>
underrated peer to peer network in existence - I can't stress this
enough)<br>
and eventually will probably use some sort of lightweight implementation
of<br>
the Freenet routing algorithm eventually but really at the moment I just<br>
want to get something running.<br>
�<br>
What makes a good argumentation and decision making system? Wikipedia
has<br>
some good material on this topic, but as most of the active members on
this<br>
list are organizers in some form I thought it would be helpful to get
input<br>
from you all.<br>
�<br>
I'll make a github repo tonight and post some related code that I'm
working<br>
on (it will *not* be working) later on this week.<br>
�<br>
Ok guys, let me have it!<br>
