ChannelsThe concept of Channels will add rich metadata to Bittorrent and enable RSS-like subscriptions in P2P. Channels give every user the ability to clean up metadata and extend Bittorrent swarms with additional info. With a simple keyword search, you can locate a channel. Every user can publish content in his Channel and the ChannelCast protocol is used to distribute this list. No server is needed for creating, spreading, and searching contents of the channel. We believe our initiative is the first attempt at Serverless user-generated metadata Status and planningAfter the summer of 2009 we aim to launch a Beta version of this feature. Currently one part of Channels called ModerationCast is implemented in [source:abc/branches/vincent/d07-09-18-modcast-from-mainbranch-r5355 Python], there is technical documentation, and a [source:abc/branches/vincent/moderationcastsim simulator]. More info. Roadmap (Johan)
