Hi everyone. I have a small group that is currently looking at contributing to or expanding this project.
Some co-workers and I want a place to meet up like facebook but we want control of all our own data.
We plan on implementing some custom sharing solutions based on the diaspora project and hope to contribute these changes back to diaspora when complete.
We will be hosting a private POD for initial testing to see how it works out with the goal of eventually making our changes public.
We are looking at doing changes unrelated to person centric identity, however some questions came up in discussion related to this topic.
Our question is does the diaspora community have any plans for implementing person-centric identity like supporting public/private key identification IE I have a private key on my machine that identifies me as me. The public key can be loaded into the pod and I can login without a password because my Diaspora pod knows it is me when I connect with my private key.
The other growing person-centric identity solution is biometrics, facial recognition or fingerprint ID. Does Diaspora have any plans to support one or both of these technologies in the future?
Thanks for your time, I look forward to your thoughts!
Regards,
Kaleb
