[rdfweb-dev] Foaf-for-Dean

[Marc Canter]

I'm interested in the relationship between Drupal (which I believe the
Dean folks are using for single sign-on authentication) and this
DeanSpace plugin - which "snags" DeanLinks.  Isn't this "block" process
a form of authentication?  Does that conflict or enhance the existing
Drupal capabilities?

(see below for more....)

 I didn't get quite that far into the spec :) .. but Danbri started 
showing me the possibilities. 

Foafinate-for-dean was made to let a DeanSpace plugin snag "Deanlink's" 
and turn them into a buddylist block on DeanSpace pages.

But we are now also working on geo / relationship scutterbot 
visulazation wonderfulness.

Any other exciting ideas i should be aware of?

===================
Back to Marc's comments.......

Dude - we got ideas for YOU!

We've been working on a social network which is based upon FOAF.  We're
at the point where the code is up (on wobbling legs)
(http://peopleaggregator.com/ ) and we're drilling down into what are
the specific inter-op, inter-change, sharing facilities we can support
and facilitate across social nets.

Within the Dean world - you seem to have worked out your own interchange
- but how/what would you like to see - connecting to "the rest of the
world?"

eCademy, Venture Collective, ODDPost, Tribe, LivingDirectory, Affinity
Engines, WebAssistant, NetModular or Technorati all wanna play along.
And there are even right-wing/VC oriented systems like Always-On which
want to be part of some sort of federated social network of social
networks.

So we have a huge opportunity staring us in the face - all based upon
FOAF.  I myself wanna establish a 'digital lifestyle aggregator' kind of
environment, where I can support my various "digital presences" on the
web.
