!!Identity Havens
In order for [federation] of independent Internet communities, a reliable source of identity verification needs to exist. This source can not be associated with any commercial or governmental entity, and must be portable to a governmental jurisdiction which allows the maximum amount of freedom.

!!Identity and Social Networks
Every Internet connected web site should be part of a social network defined by the operators of that site. 

A platform needs to exist to allow creation of web sites which can be transparently federated into a social network of the operators choosing. 

The main problem with Internet privacy is that people either have to register an identity with each web site they want to participate in with any degree of privacy, or they had to transfer the role of identity management to an untrustworthy corporation or government entity which the site might refer to. 

!!PKI
An "identity haven" would be a neutral place where public keys could be stored safely. Federated web sites can be combined into a social network, where access to the site is determined by the level of trust the site operator assigns to the public/private key pairs. Similar to the way an individual manages their PGP key ring (with keys trusted based on various levels of knowledge of the individual... key signing parties, with keys to be used for access to the web site...)

!!Federating Wikis
It would be nice to be able to federate wikis. At the moment the closes feature is the 'sister wiki' feature that some wikis have. It makes it easy to link from one wiki to another with wiki links almost as simple as local wiki links.

In a Wiki federation, each wiki should be independent and allow the users to federate with other wikis. The goal of the federation would be to allow users and information to move freely between the wikis. Thus it should be easy to:
* contribute to multiple wikis
* move documents from a wiki to another and replace links with a placeholder/redirection

 
!!Peer-to-Peer Federation
Not only is it desirable to federate wikis from the standpoint of authors and readers, it is also desirable to exchange the actual content between federated wiki hosts.

Essentially, each member of the federation has the same content available. Given two wikis which are federated, an agent can modify data in either and the data will be stored in both wikis data store.

Thus, should a federated site be attacked or removed from the Internet, the content will survive as long as one site in the federation continues to exit.

Thus a wiki data store should function in a way like peer to peer file sharing systems do.
