Sounds good dude.

I'd recommend getting on the rdfweb list.

Since I had this 4 hour tutorial on Drupal with Jonas today, my head is
abuzz.  Totally jazzed at this point.  We didn=92t touch much on the =
PDNS
- except to think of it as our own version of Indigo (Microsoft's
universal connector kit.)=20

A hub for all kinds of authentication issue s- which turns out to be a
DRM aggregator - as well. :-)

The reality is we're faced with supporting:

	- Drupal's lite-weight authentication

	- SixApart's new TypeKey scheme - for controlling comments, but
it's really a stand alone authentication system

	- PingID's SourceID federation server

	- or other authentication schemes

And let's not forget LDAP and all those others identity systems floating
around out there.  For us to be the hub of the wheel, we gotta support
ALL formats.

:-)

Bloom filters are very cool, I just spent an hour looking into them as I
am dealing with a large dataset issue right now for a domain spinner for
a work related project.=20
But what it is more similar to is probably the LOAF project
http://loaf.cantbedone.org/ except that each email will be encrypted. I
liken it more to how IM lists are set up where people need permission to
be on your list and to be able to send you messages. Except that it is
implied just by listing someone in your knows, if they list back then it
works.

Interesting, it is an absolute shame that semaview is windows only it
looks interesting. Anyway, yea, pass on whatever data,in particlar any
projects you may know of that are doing smushing. PDNS is not at a point
that I would really want people poking around with things yet, I expect
a beta out shortly. At first just client demo's in PHP that can show all
the features.
