Hold it -- think about this. If that was done, it would DEFEAT the entire point of the project, because it wouldn't fix ANY privacy issues, since the data would be copied to the services that have the privacy issues. :-/ So interaction with other services is specifically a problem, unless there is a mechanism to control which specific pieces of data can be shared with specific outside services. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jun 2 - Android Jul 7 - Patent Absurdity - The Movie Aug 4 - Samba
