GNU Glance 1.0 ============== Glance is a distributed social debate and ranking tool. A replacement for mailing lists, newsgroups, slashdot, reddit, ycombinator, schleuder and many more.
Each participating node evaluates ranks for each participant and posted message according to its perception of the social graph and its judgement of the writers combined with their published evaluations of each contribution. This allows to walk into a debate and get a reasonably fair impresssion of the state of discussions and the relevance of each contribution at a Glance. Of course, as with any distributed PSYC pubsub channel, all communications and evaluations are only available in the clear to the actually participating people. Glance allows for the creation of a pseudonymized web publishing gateway. Prerequisites for installation: ------------------------------ - GNUnet 3.3.1 - Secushare 2.1 - GNU Consensus 1.2 Comment: ------- Just saying that we could be using Glance instead of this lousy old mailing list technology if instead of discussing overly complex and hard to maintain federation architectures we were just focusing on getting our distributed social backend running which allows for amazing apps which were previously only possible in a silo setting (slashdot etc). Or have you seen any of the federated social web projects develop something like Glance in the past decade?
