==== Description: ====
The project goal is to create a open-source infrastructure for trust and
reputation management that is serverless and designed to be robust in the
presence of node dropouts (e.g. not be subject to single-point failures). We
envision a peer-to-peer system using open email protocols such as SMTP and
IMAP for transport.
There are several related problems this infrastructure could be applied to;
our first target is email and IM spam-fighting. If we can deliver good
results there, we envision displacing walled-garden "web 2.0"
social-networking applications such as Friendster, Myspace, and Facebook with
an open system that scales better and does not subject user trust data to
proprietary control.
==== Other Software Required: ====
No non-free dependencies are expected
