After the hacking: a call for assistance

As you perhaps already know, the P2P Foundation site, and our blog, have been hacked twice (by the Turkish ayt cracker team lead by the ‘Dark Lord’). Fortunately, thanks to the assistance of Brice Le Blevennec and his team, who were at the same time struggling with a IPO, our site has been restored. Need I explain how it makes you feel, when months of intensive work risk being lost? There are almost 2,000 pages of documentation on the site now.

I have been thinking: can we turn this misfortune into an advantage.

And I came up with this idea, which would involve your cooperation. Please do visit the P2PFoundation.net site, and spend say, one hour browsing in it. Then select your top 3 (or 5 ,or 10) resources. Send them to me, and we will publish them in batches in our blog. You can use the occasion to mention and link to your own work as well. Please add some lines of why you choose the particular items. Believe me, they are many hidden gems out there, and despite the 20,000 visitors since December, this is still a highly underused and unknown resource.

To do this, you can either click on the topical or functional categories (middle and right columns), or on Recent Changes (extreme left column)

Many thanks for your assistance,

Michel Bauwens
