I've been following the conversations of the past few days about having a
central repository of data about servers and clients and SMS-by-email hosts,
and I wondered if this doesn't break the federated model. For example, if Alice
runs a laconica instance within her company, and Bob runs a laconica instance
within his company, neither of these should ever need to talk to "the
Internet", but they might need to talk to each other - across a VPN link for
instance.
How about if Alice's Laconica instance asks Bob's laconica instance about every
other OMB instance it knows, and tells his instance about every OMB instance
her's knows about? This could happen the first time they talk, and then every X
hours, where X could be every 24, 120 or even 2400.
At the same time they are swapping stories about OMB instances they have met,
or know through a friend (which incidentally, could be marked as "I know about
this, but have never met it - it might need to be confirmed before you let
users know about this data"), you could also share client information, again on
a "You should probably check this info before approving me" and SMS-by-email
hosts.
Any thoughts?
