Sorry for the accusation, but is this an attempt at email address
harvesting?  Blocks hasn't done anything at all in the past year, and
filesharing apps don't really belong in OpenOffice.  Reply back explaining

[<Rjw...@ao...>]

Gentlemen:
 
I have been tracking (barely) Blocks development for about a year.  I  really 
wish I had more time to get involved with its further development.   My 
biggest wish for Christmas is to have an enhanced version of Blocks rolled  
underneath OpenOffice to provide part of a next-generation Open Source Workflow  
Engine.  The idea is to enhance OpenOffice's XML-encoded metadata file  objects so 
that Blocks-enabled software 'agents' can handle the routing of XML  Schema- 
based workflow documents between the members of a 'Virtual'  OpenOffice-based 
Workflow Team.  OpenOffice already supports  forms though I don't believe they 
are stored as hierarchical  XML Schema constructs.
 
Some simple examples of electronic document workflows this would support  are 
puchase requisitions, travel authorizations, business travel expense  
reports, engineering change notices (ECNs), team-authored training manuals,  among 
many, many more. 
 
Can you e-mail me with instructions on how to get in touch with Blocks lead  
developers by e-mail?  I'd like to discuss this use of a future Blocks in  
greater detail.  Thanks.

Re: [Blocks-development] Penny-arcade; blocks2?

[Blat F. <pet...@ho...>]

Im still here too :-)

Work stuff prevents me from thinking about P2P stuff too much nowadays, and 
having recently bought a car and a house, got married and changed jobs I 
dont have too much free time either. But I do still think about these this 
stuff.

Maybe one day I'd like to kick off another project, perhaps something 
related but smaller and more easily defined. I was thinking that one of the 
key P2P decentralization problemsis finding other hosts. Perhaps a project 
to simply provide a server a demon that king of works like DNS and allows 
others to find members of their P2P group. This could be done in a generic 
fashion and would not involve any searching, advertising, or file sharing. 
An analogy woul be posting your IP via NNTP. This would remove the 
decentralization problem from P2P by building a secure and legitimate 
network of such servers. P2P developers could then concentrate on 
searching/publishing/downloading issues.

Anyway, just an idea...

hope everyone is doing well,
ttfn
PG :-)

I'm still here, waiting to see if there will be a final revival of
Blocks, which I still think is one of the most advanced anonymous file
sharing architectures (and hey, it clearly has the superior logo ;-). In
case you haven't noticed, Mute by Jason Rohrer has also gained some
traction:
http://mute-net.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately virtually all P2P applications just focus on a single
aspect, namely the searching/sharing/downloading of stuff. There is
relatively little real innovation such as:
- P2P market places - think decentralized eBay
- webs of trust and ratings for content discovery
- collaboration networks like the one you describe (this issue is
broader than just scripting an encompasses what is currently done in
wikis, but also things like CVS and Subversion, and distributed
rendering)
- timecash and other new currency systems
- decentralized forums, chat (IIP is a first working solution here)
...

Really, we're doing only a very small subset of what is possible in
software. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to point out what can be done
than to actually do it. The challenges of implementation are quite
significant, especially when it coems to apps like the one you describe
(keeping everything in sync, preventing abuse etc.).

The list you probably want to subscribe to in order to discuss these
things is p2p-hackers:
http://zgp.org/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
It has 700+ subscribers, although traffic is low for such a large list.

And when it comes to documenting these ideas, I think the infoAnarchy
wiki is the place to use:
http://www.infoanarchy.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

I also suggest the following channels on irc.freenode.net:
	#p2p-hackers
	#esp
	#freenet
as well as
	#infoanarchy
on irc.oftc.net.

[Blocks-development] Spam on the list

[Michael S. Jr. <bl...@ms...>]

I posted a message which is "awaiting moderator approval" -- but I also
started getting a ton of spam once I turned on my old blocks@ email address
again.  I want to see if spammers are watching this list for email
addresses.

(The message is apparently awaiting moderator approval only because of its
length, so if it doesn't get released, maybe because the moderator is
absent, I'll post it again as three separate messages.)

I want to see if I start receiving spam on this newly-created email address
I'm posting from now.  If I do, I (and everyone else who dislikes spam) will
apparently need to start posting emails with spam-protected from and
reply-to addresses, with instructions in the message body on how to remove
the protection.

[Blocks-development] Penny-arcade; blocks2?

[Michael S. Jr. <bl...@ms...>]

Is anyone still alive?  The last few messages to this list were all spam, so
I wouldn't blame you guys if you have all unsubscribed.

We got "wang-dotted" over a year ago, if anyone cares -- apparently Blocks
was one of a list of random filesharing clients linked at the end of an
article at the web comic Penny Arcade about the RIAA's great customer
service.  http://www.penny-arcade.com/news.php3?date=2003-09-12  I was kinda
happy to see some traffic, but near as I can tell nobody actually tried to
use the client.

I don't know if anyone cares, but way back in 2001 I said I had just gotten
a programming job.  I ended up losing that job three months later, sadly -- 
they let several of us go.  The company was DPI Merchant Services, that
credit card processing company that was in the news for getting hacked a
while back.  And no, none of my remaining code had anything to do with that.
:-)

I've been going back to school -- I'm currently on my last semester of a C/S
degree, and am terribly terribly busy.  No time for Blocks at all.  But
right now I'm taking a Programming Languages class, and it's really opening
my eyes.  I think I'm well-trained enough now to be able to handle a complex
system a bit better, so I might take another stab at understanding Blocks.

How about everyone else?  Right now I'm of the opinion that a good next-step
filesharing innovation would include giving the user a way to teach their
filesharing client to implement their wishes, beyond those anticipated by
the developer and written into an options dialog.  I'm mentally tossing
around weird ideas I want to share with SOMEONE, and I'm curious if anyone
is still out there who wants to listen.

Weird idea 1:  more of a concept, really.  Filesharing network users are
social creatures.  They participate in different groups, and they have
different individual standards and values, and different group standards and
values.

Weird idea 2:  Filesharing programs are intelligent agents, and we need a
way for users to express their standards and values to these agents so they
can respect and implement them.  This is vastly more complex than any set of
options in an options dialog, and users are probably going to have more
complicated needs than we will EVER be able to foresee.  None of us is wise
enough to create the perfect feature set and the perfect options dialogue.
I am embarrassed that in 2001 I seemed to think I could.

Weird idea 3:  Armed with this new knowledge from this Programming Languages
class, that breaks down the very act of executing statements into these
fascinating "semantic reasoning" pieces:  I think we should build a kind of
scripting language and execution environment within a filesharing network.
I'm imagining an entire filesharing community of multiple clients (but
nowhere near ALL clients on a network) expressed as a shared execution
environment, where all the nodes cooperatively execute these scripts, with
security and authentication and node-to-node communication as each statement
is executed.  I'm imagining creative filesharing network users building and
implementing completely new things that we never foresaw, using this
environment.

This stuff starts to get harder to talk about, because as I start getting
deeper into this Computer Science program of study my list of conversation
partners gets shorter.  This stuff is really enlightening.  If I see
interest expressed on this list, I'll go into more detail.
