I mean P2P as in using a DHT (distributed hash table) for its storage layer so that it can run in a network composed only of the client users with no web-server, the same way that the file-sharing programs such as azzureus and aMule work. We can develop a basic wiki/blog in this way, but would prefer a mature CMS like Plone.
