Subject: creating a noisy library
First Jennifer De Beer's note includes two unattributed snips from other
messages. They are not from the same author, but the way in which they are
included makes it seem as if they were typed by the same hands. The first,
which I agree is tilting at windmills, is not from me. The second offering
to share a brief overview of technologies involved etc as described in a
forthcoming CACM article is by me.
The draft of the contributor-run library (aka noisy in the Jacksonian
sense) can be found at http://www.advogato.org/article/170.html and you
and your readers may join the discussion there if you choose. Advogato
implements a matrix of trust (taken from crypto folks) which I would
include in a noisy library.
