Talk:OpenCobalt

Lets see what these guys say about our P2P CMS/PM app :-)

Hi, I'm part of a development team who are helping an organisation to
architect a CMS based project that they want to work in a P2P network
rather than using a centralised web-server.

We've researched existing CMS's such as Plone to see if they could be modified to operate on top of a DHT but found that they rely too heavily on querying methodologies that are incompatible with the P2P paradigm.

I realise that Cobalt is really intended as a virtual world system, but it seems that it has a lot of the P2P applicational functionality in place that could be developed to serve content to a local standard browser.

We have a specific application in mind that we like to develop which is a project-management/workflow environment running in a CMS with some other standard tools such as wiki/blog, but rather than a web-server we'd be using a local P2P app as the backend. I'm wondering what you guys, the OpenCobalt developers, think of the practicalities of this idea?

We have a good budget available for this and will be developing it as a
completely free open source component, so we'd also like to hear from
developers who may be interested in working on the project too.

Thanks a lot,
Aran
