Good idea Ian.

I would add to this the following reading from the distributed information group at MIT, where they show how open social networks using foaf and openid can work together to create a distributed and evolving web of trust

http://dig.csail.mit.edu/breadcrumbs/node/206

the idea is to crawl foaf files from certain people (those that have an account perhaps), extract the people who have openid, and give them priviledged access.

read the article for a good implementation idea. I think doing this should be both easy and a good way to get a little practical semantic web experience. I'd be happy to help out.

Hey Dave,
Here's my list:
1. OpenID (identity provider and relying party) and perhaps infocard support so that roller installations don't necessarily have to be ID silos in the absence of any enterprise ID system integration (LDAP, yadda yadda) 2. As Sean and Allen said, theme migration is huge, in general data migration competitive-upgrade tools would also be slick (in general, a tool that uses metaWeblog and APP to smoothly migrate between blogging platforms would be a huge contribution to the blogging ecosystem) 3. Small device admin interfaces, Mashable just had nice coverage of blogging from your phone http://mashable.com/2008/03/10/blogging-phone-tools/ ... looked great but no roller

best,

Dave had written and probably intended:
Apache Software Foundation is participating in Google Summer of Code
program as a mentoring organization.

The March 17th deadline is coming up fast. Any ideas for interesting
Roller development? I've got a couple and I'll outline them here on
the list by this weekend.

- Dave
