[p2p-research] would it make sense to have a ning-based p2p network

Thu Feb 14 16:31:40 CET 2008

Hi Michel,

I think we chose ning because it is simple, free and featureful and
therefore we've got nothing to loose.

Ideally it would be open source too (its not, although they do let you
download your source if you want).

I think the biggest reason is: why not?

After all, I've already learnt lots more about some of the faces and people
behind the e-mail addressses on these lists, and if we're all going to work
together to build a p2p world (which we are) then we need to know who each
other are and start building trusting relationships :)

I sent an invite to our http://lists.riseup.net/www/info/open list too where
lots of like minded people are.

Smiles,

Josef.
