Editing P2P Hospitality initiatives and proposals

This is a directory to various P2P Hospitality initiatives and proposals. There is a [[Why decentralization in hospex?|philosophical overview]] elsewhere.

== 3M's Brainstorming notes ==
[[User:Midsch | Midsch]], Mahouni2000 and [[User:matrixpoint | Matrixpoint]] have been brainstorming about decentralization and privacy solutions for the past 6 months (as of 10/2009). A few more pages may appear here summarizing our explorations, such as this [[P2P Resources|P2P resources page]]. Our goal was to make use of existing systems, but we haven't yet found a ready-to-deploy solution. Thus, more work needs to be done. (The less, the better.) Very briefly, we see three main areas of technical activity to pursue:

* Customize [http://noserub.com Noserub] (or [http://drupal.org Drupal] or [http://buddypress.org BuddyPress] or whatever) for localized or special-interest hospex communities, packaging it so that is very easy to deploy. For example, see the [[Drupal Hospex Features|Drupal hospex features]] page.

* Encourage sub-communities within the big social sites like [http://facebook.com Facebook], perhaps by developing custom apps for them.

* Develop a decentralized (P2P) trust/search network. A Java-based solution named [[Nexus P2P trust network|Nexus]] is under development.

Some non-technical areas to explore are:

* Universal standards or guidelines for trust, safety, and privacy.

* What constitutes an identity/reputation in the virtual world?
