Still trying to get the minutes but from what I gathered: - People are moving away from XML and towards JSON - OStatus hasnt gained the adoption it would have liked - Salmon seems particularly hard to implement with everyone seeming to do it a slightly different way I've had a brief look at zot, I'm highly skeptical it can gain adoption - http://purl.org/zot/1.0 did not resolve for me - Unsure if the OStatus folks will want to run with it - Unsure if it's using new URI schemes, scaling, IANA acceptance etc. - Unsure how much it's been peer reviewed. General thoughts: - This is a problem that no one has solved yet. - The wordpress blog you run on your plug server has potential to be developed into a web based social net, perhaps even possible with something like drupal - GNU Social still has potential as a microblogging solution, perhaps more - Retroshare works well with PGP and IM - There seem some plans to develop an end to end encrypted XMPP / GPG thing (dont hold your breath ;) ) - I think the principle of good design are 'low coupling, high cohesion'. Meaning as far as possible dont try and be FBX specific. - Apache 2 with a self signed cert is a very good start. Build up incrementally through trial and error. - I think the correct way to model things by FAR is what facebook have done with the open graph protocol. A FOSS version of that with data freedom, and keep your own logs. > > Nick > - -- > GPG: 0x0928D23A | D95C 3204 2EE5 4FFD B25E C348 9F27 33F4 0928 D23A > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) > > iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJOsLj4AAoJEJ8nM/QJKNI6zeYQAKhj/mxqTSnybmeOXnWtceCN > NsoPXsUW5j0kP6/P7jKkalUoZwCrYijXhPRRjVqCz/g12KnM13pIf7RzCkMC6yHq > GG/uw6OH4tQXEymnngFLTbMNlrLRnFcKGPwhuIgY1CB95DV+wDIKzRVeTc7FMG5e > IsFXk3nLTSK+G38FrDGyikO6iitpNclf956QN80GMxUWLVcLNEDERT2m2WzB0Syn > os0V+SUKKPf/bQf3X6ipQFmBsZv1pElzJRsGxz7bsg6Ht+32ZREwfUivughAz6g5 > GTNQeQOvWWGUGVjzhRiR8lEl+PSg/a9owv6g4zM4nEshYClBm1mrkR5geifLGYfZ > zbvwqVrW100VsPOoM4vc1kP2KSPaE5XGmIarhIGW4/hqlvLiXyL7g/zznklJ6fSX > LlfWT0/zUSRngZ4cgMflwrtZqC7Qh6ZH8PlbuM8M5eO4nge20R41OOOe4cz5VNaN > SWHjSSyioGVm+fevKU2gPeZXYQWnJTzoa1K/Fm6n1gqCmSCE6Ct54/tuwmPKISSQ > SLU71NDyaueVWH6cDStns7rMHgDthhUX6ssnR6iQNw83TYiHK5lTMYCJcUF9J96h > a02xrSycVDjDo0l6C/3kA/XcafNcWKwJoy6bb/W5DK9hhJNjIPqP40qYV4Vivm5O > L51As9EZKlGrnBvASxAy > =3/7i > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
