Grid technology stalls Wiki vandals | The Register
Currently, scientists wanting to use the Grid have to get a digital certificate that identifies them to the Grid as bona fide boffins. GridSiteWiki extends this so that all Wikis can use digital certificates to identify their contributors.
This link was just forwarded to me from Russ with the paraphrased note "this sounds a lot like what we are doing with the Credentia project" and he's right, it does.
The Credentia project is another one of the x2x2x.org projects related to the LLUP [1] Decentralized Messaging Protocol, (which, by the way, is coming along quite nicely. Its amazing the progress that can be made when people like Don, Uche, Russ, Sylvain, and Kurt are involved :) with a focus on seeking out the best possible (and pre-existing; we don't want to re-invent or design/build ANYTHING we don't absolutely have to) solution to bring the "I am who I claim to be; see, here's proof" world of digital identification to the masses.
Maybe this is exactly what we need... More soon...
[1] In regards to the LLUP project as of late we have decided to focus more of the focus on the term "Blip"; various reasons for this, one of which is we are all sick and tired of acronyms and the thought of adding another one to the acronym hell we call the Tech Industry has been enough for us to want to put the focus more on the implementation side of things (Blip) than on the architecure (LLUP))
