P2P Application ExamplesOpera Unite (video) Opera Unite is not free/open software, but this is an example of functionality that belongs in PeerPpoint. Another Opera Unite demo. Opera Unite was dropped but Opera 12 also includes features for p2p peeps to die for. SyndieThis information about Syndie is included as an example of an application designed for a peer-to-peer world. PeerPoint applications, in addition to being integrated with one-another, would ideally be designed for use in many network environments by people with many different security and anonymity requirements. Syndie is an open source system for operating distributed forums (Why would you use Syndie?), offering a secure and consistent interface to various anonymous and non-anonymous content networks. On the whole, Syndie works at the *content layer* - individual posts are contained in encrypted zip files, and participating in the forum means simply sharing these files. There are no dependencies upon how the files are transferred (overI2P,Tor,Freenet,gnutella,bittorrent,RSS,usenet,email), but simple aggregation and distribution tools will be bundled with the standard Syndie release. 
Syndie Technical features While its structure leads to a large number of different configurations, most needs will be met by selecting one of the options from each of the following three criteria:
* reading is authorized by giving people the symmetric key or passphrase to decrypt the post. Alternately, the post may include a publicly visible prompt, where the correct answer serves to generate the correct decryption key. ** posting, updating, and/or commenting is authorized by providing those users with asymmetric private keys to sign the posts with, where the corresponding public key is included in the forum's metadata as authorized to post, manage, or comment on the forum. Alternately, the signing public keys of individual authorized users may be listed in the medtata. Individual posts may contain many different elements:

Freedombox Mailing List PollDate: Thu, 31 May 2012 07:39:43 -0500 From: Nick Daly To: freedombox-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org Subject: [Freedombox-discuss] What You Want from a FreedomBox! Hi folks, the votes are in (people have stopped replying to the original thread), so here's how the votes have broken down. In tallying these votes, I do not claim to have perfectly interpreted everyone's words, nor do I claim to have made no mistakes. The emails to this list themselves are the raw data, so my inaccuracies should be self-evident. I counted each vote in each email once (I did *not* count one vote per email) and attempted to include all sub-threads and side-threads of the "What do you want in a FreedomBox?" email chain. The data are sorted by number of votes for each category, then by number of votes per service, and finally alphabetically, when services share votes. Social Sharing/Connections/Network tool (20): - Email: XXXXX
Privacy Device (20): - Censorship Circumvention: XXXXXX
Self-publishing tool (13): - Photo Sharing: XXXXX
Backup tool (12): - Dropbox: XXXXXX
Personal Information Manager (6): - Personal Information Manager: XXXXX
Connectivity Device (5): - IPv6/IPsec Router: XXXX
Media Device (4): - Media Device: XXX
The Other Category (uncounted): - Ripple (??): X - Data Gathering System: X - PeerPoint (??): X - WebBox: X - Shell Account (??): X - E-Currency Wallet: X Just thought you'd like to know and comment on how this all turned out.
As a side-note, I was *really* surprised by the results. I didn't expect to see the privacy category get as many votes as the social category, nor did I expect email to be quite so popular. Nick
- The Soveriegn Computing Manifesto The purpose of sovereign computing is to bring to the Internet the kinds of freedoms we have in real life, but have lost online.
- The Free Network Movement (Free Network Foundation) Free network definition: Our intention is to build communications systems that are owned by the people that use them, that allow participants to own their own data, and that use end-to-end encryption and cryptographic trust mechanisms to assure privacy. We call such systems 'free networks' and they are characterized by the following five freedoms:

- We The Data Is an extensive definition of the problem space. “We The Data asked a crowd of experts what is arguably this century’s most important questions: How can we make our data work for us and not against? Where must we focus our know-how and creativity so the power in our data is democratized and made vibrant with meaning and value for every individual creating it? What emerged is a nexus of Core Challenges, that if solved together, we believe will catalyze the most positive change. Our goal is to spark synergy among people and organizations who are tackling a nexus of interdependent Core Challenges and collectively giving rise to the Gutenburg press of our era: flows of data that are at once more fluid and more trustworthy, new and more accessible tools for analysis and visualization, and vehicles of communication and collaboration that help communities come together to gain a voice, mobilize resources, coordinate action, and create the ventures of the future.” - The Global Square specs partially overlap with PeerPoint - SecuShare currently only includes social networking, file sharing, and IM apps, but this link compares features of existing tools and should be useful for developing more detailed specs. Video on design issues and existing projects in the social space: http://vimeo.com/39256857 - Social Swarm Criteria for software evaluation List of candidate software - Safebook: a Privacy Preserving Online Social Network (pdf) This specification covers social networking only, but has a good discussion of p2p architecture. Additional documentation is available at http://www.safebook.us . Safebook beta code was apparently acquired by MatchUpBox, whose site appears to be under development. The MatchUpBox graphic below indicates content management functionality, but no further specs seem to be available yet. 
- Value Network Infrastructure (Sensorica, Greener Acres) [Note: the user-facing, front-end functionality is similar to PeerPoint, but in the general features section below, a peer-to-peer back-end architecture is not specified. This is a major difference at the software engineering level.] What is an infrastructure?TheWikipedia definition Our working definition: an infrastructure is a coherent set of tools used by an individual or a group to fulfill certain tasks in order to achieve certain goals. Value networks need an infrastructure in order function. This infrastructure is intended to facilitate value creation, exchange, transformation and consumption. Example: online collaborative communities need tools for communication, coordination, project management, data storage and sharing, etc. All these tools can be made interoperable, and can be integrated together into an infrastructure, offering a unified work environment, user-friendly interfaces, etc. General features of the infrastructure
Some other considerationsThe value network is also a social “animal”, something that gives members feedback, asks members for involvement, etc. There must be some Artificial Intelligence in there, to analyse data about activity, social data, about value and how it flows, about what’s needed, what’s urgent, etc. Have active systems, automated agents send out alerts to the right members, according to their roles and their reputation. This thing must also be able to interact with those who come in contact with it for the first time. Value networks have a social skin! [tibi] Important systems/modules
