Before this slew of topics bit a chunk of my time, I was working on
something similar to Tabber and NoseRub. Of course then, I didn't know
these two existed. I didn't know Brad Fitz was going to publish the
whole notion of the social graph. And reading and participating in
these discussion, I understand I didn't know much in the first place.
I was going to finish it. Sell it. Profit. Then rule the world.
Of course, I scraped the mess that I called code, and decided to start anew.
Ironically, I was going to call it Sociopath[1], because of its
decentralized nature. I still am, only this time, it will be open to
contribution. I couldn't stand to get the credit for this; everybody
should. We might, eventually, end up with the definitive Social
Network Exchange Server (and then be sued by Nintendo and Microsoft).
As enlightening as these discussions are, I don't think we can get
anywhere without writing down our brain dumps. I thought we wouldn't
need something complicated. So I decided to install a wiki, and
document whatever I have in mind there[2]. To get a hint of
organization, I had the wiki require registration for anyone who
wishes to edit. Of course you can always login with your OpenID and
edit.
Once we get a rough draft of where we're headed, I'll run an SVN
repository and we can start coding something that works. It's an open
invitation for everyone who writes in any language.
I'm looking forward to the outcome of this collaboration, so tell me
what you think.
Thanks everyone.
