Hi Isaac.
I've just subscribed to the p2p-hackers list and I'm reaching out to all
the other groups and projects that have been mentioned. I've also been
invited to post the PeerPoint proposal on the P2P Foundation Blog.
The idea is to invite a wider community to crowdsource further evolution of
the specs. I added an intro to the specs that I and others can easily email
with the link to the full doc:
Greets, p2p peeps!
PeerPoint is an evolving crowdsourced design specification for a suite of
integrated peer-to-peer applications to include (but not limited to) social
networking, real-time project collaboration, content management, database
management, voting, trust/reputation metrics, complementary currency, crowd
funding, etc. This specification overlaps with many existing p2p
infrastructure and social networking projects but also goes substantially
beyond anything yet existing. Members of other projects are encouraged to
participate in further developing the open PeerPoint specs and to adopt any
part of the specs that they can use.
To participate in developing this specification, please join the Next Net
Google Group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet>and read the PeerPoint
topic.<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet/catpnppl-tI/lvPuIz3HYDgJ><https://groups.google.com/d/msg/building-a-distributed-decentralized-internet/catpnppl-tI/lvPuIz3HYDgJ>
I am not actually trying to start another development project. PeerPoint
is an open, high-level functional specification for where I think all the
open p2p projects are eventually heading as a group. I want to get as many
of those current projects as I can to participate in evolving the PeerPoint
spec further and adding increasing levels of detail that are beyond my
competence.
Any suggestions?

Zooko Wilcox O'Hearn runs a mailing list called p2p-hackers, but it's
more for protocol/network design.
There's SecuShare, GNUnet, Tonika, and Sneer. All of which are existing
projects in the space that could certainly use your help. I still do not
understand the need for another separate project. Why not work with what's
out there?

Thanks for the suggestions, Mark. I'll try to hook up with theglobalsquare
folks. As for the P2P Foundation, they seem more interested in the movement
and culture than the technology at the moment. I'm on their mail list and
I'm curating a facebook group<https://www.facebook.com/groups/145538675490320/>for the p2p peeps there.

BTW as far as I can tell, there is no online forum dedicated to the
general topic of p2p application software architecture for free/open source
software designers, developers, engineers, etc. Discussions of p2p
architecture tend to be found mostly in the discussions of specific
p2p networking projects like freenet and FreedomBox and they tend to apply
to the lower-level network routing and file-sharing issues instead of
the higher application software level for real-time, interactive
collaboration. If anyone knows of a general p2p *application*architecture group or forum, please let me know.
(In case you don't know,) you might want to check out the
P2P-Foundation (which has a long-standing discussion on these topics) and
theglobalsquare which is trying to implement same.
