Steve, I like Advogato! Just got an account. It seems to have checks in (almost) all the boxes! I'm trying to push the use of FOAF for trust, specifically connecting FOAF to OpenID. http://esw.w3.org/topic/FoafOpenid Advogato is nice as it does both of them. My wishlist is: 1. Allow people to give in their profile an RDF ID for themselves ( or >1). This acknowledges that Adv. is not the only network ... it would allow me to connect to another site like it for example. My.opera.com does this, for example . If everyone does this we can make a complete open social network. You publish owl:sameAs linking the person in the site ti the person in the other site. 2. I love the foaf. How about DOAP for projects? It is an ontology like FOAF. For example http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#Project Example file http://dig.csail.mit.edu/2005/ajar/ajaw/data#Tabulator.rdf If you gave each project an RDF URI like say http://www.advogato.org/proj/mod_virgule/doap#it (not the project home age or human-readable page, the RDF ID of the thing itself) then people and projects would be connected. It'd be able to browse around eth co-developer web in data space, make trust metrics like "anyone who has worked with me on a project, to 3 hops" and so on. KUTGW Tim BL
