Hey all. Brewster Kahle at the Internet Archive is holding a summit about a decentralized web infrastructure. I told him I’d pass this along, in case anyone out there is interested. Shari

we are pulling together a decentralized web summit on June 8th. I am writing because the idea of building in reader privacy is key, but it is difficult.
I wonder if there is a way to build in a tor or tor-like capability into a decentralized web infrastructure.
Would you or yours be up for participating? the gathering is just gaining shape, but it is 2 months away.

Seems related to:
https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-April/010698.html
("How to build a decentralized archive.org/archive.is equivalent that can't track users, with ways to prove that the content is legit, while shielding said cache operators for liability nightmares, that doesn't have the ability to feed users malicious content and pwn their boxes")
So, if we want to pursue "try to circumvent blocking/obnoxiousness by using an archive/cache mechanism" further, then yes, we should think about participating so our requirements are communicated.
As a side note/rant:
"http" makes me sad, changing it to "https" gave me a cert error, and I had to enable JavaScript to figure out where said meeting was. :(
