Great! An excellent project! Brian Warner and I have written a few notes about how to add per-URL authentication to the web in a backwards-compatible way. Of course, your approach may be to forego backwards compatibility in order to gain other values. > I really want an alternative to Facebook and IRC, and I don't think Diaspora* > is it. Hm, I'm not really sure if references with fine-grained integrity/authentication/access-control integrated into them would help with this. Would it? I know a lot of people have been working on, or at least talking about, this sort of functionality for a couple of years now, but I don't have a clear idea of what architecture would work. One good way to think of the UX for this was suggested to me by my brother N— a few years ago. He said he wanted something that looked at behaved *exactly* like Facebook, but had no central server. (Actually he said "Myspace", which just shows you how many years ago it was.) Regards, Zooko -- To unsubscribe: http://lists.canonical.org/mailman/listinfo/kragen-discuss
