To me, it is mostly a case to define how data exchange between two clients occurs and how the p2p aspect of the idea is to be solved. I think I have to clearify this one, as I think that it is a rather important concept. Basically I do not think that it is good to have servers within such a thing from the start on. It might be an idea to think about later, if the distributed data streaming cannot be solved with p2p, but from the start, a free social net is possibly best done with pure p2p. Therefor one needs to define: - how to find 'online' nodes - a possibility to exchange states and data availlable I mentioned DHT as a possible solution for the first issue, but the second was covered by the idea of having 'requests' to maintain communication between clients. > - Should be HTTP compatible, for maximum reach, while not excluding other > techs I think that one could send all the things over HTTP, but it requires a server or at least a client simulating a server :) > - FOAF+SSL & WAC are very good starts for privacy and security Is WAC equivalent to WoT? > - SPARQL Update (SPARQL 1.1) can be used to exchange data, as can WebDAV or > simple HTTP PUT, other protocols are fine too But how does SPARQL maintain the amount of information availlable on the net and in the network we are trying to build? > - XMPP integration is also a plus Err, I just said that it is similar, but if our data exchange is in XML, then XMPP integration should be quite easy. > I have all of these things running on my desktop secured through apache and > FOAF+SSL. But I do want to go further. I want to have a systems with different clients which exchange information on what they have availlable for anyone. > So we can do much of what you are looking for today...we just need more of > the 100 million+ FOAFs to start becoming power users, then we can start > having some fun! :) Hehe... These are a lot of questions... But I do not have answers to all of yours.
