Tell me about your projects!

I'm pretty curious: do you /prog/riders expend your free time doing some personal projects?
In what kind of things you are working?

tell me everything

1. A client/server for sending and receiving delta updates to a shared blob of data with a group of peers where each knows the address of the other, optionally as hidden services.

2. A database that stores these updates and sends new updates to the other peers. It would probably keep a revision number or something. I'm not sure how race conditions should be resolved. I guess all updates can just have a time stamp associated with it and they can be sorted out that way across all the peers.

3. A webserver that displays the current state of the database in an intuitive manner. A web interface may also allow users to push changes to the database associated with the webserver, which may then push changes to the other peers.

I think a product that provides features 1 - 3 would be useful for a lot of things. We need to move more services into a distributed model. There has to be a translation from the centralized server to this network of happy pseudo anonymous peers.

4. A database and web interface to a bbs tied into the structure above.

5. A necessary but orthogonal feature would be spam control on the web interfaces as well as handling of impolite peers.

With some free time that will be coming up. I'll go for a sprint of the above. I'll try to keep it generic and reusable so it may be used for sites other than a bbs... It'll be really basic and easy to spam at first, but I'll host it anyways...when I can...
