Understand Appleseed series... Feedback appreciated.

[michael...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've written a series of essays about Appleseed (http://
www.appleseedproject.org), the distributed, open source social
networking platform I've been working on, and I'd really like to get
some feedback.

Understanding Appleseed, Part 1: Connecting Nodes
http://groups.google.com/group/open-social-networking/browse_thread/thread/4f88de7c2979a0ff

Understanding Appleseed, Part 2: Authentication
http://groups.google.com/group/open-social-networking/browse_thread/thread/14127b7e6b95c775

Understanding Appleseed, Part 3: Friend Relationships
http://groups.google.com/group/open-social-networking/browse_thread/thread/60bd97b40f2dc118

I'm especially interested in knowing if there are any published open
protocols which have similar goals to what Appleseed has done.

Thanks!
