Mauro Bieg: introducing peer to peer for beginners

Santa has come by to the Peer to Peer Foundation wiki in the person of Mauro Bieg. He has singlehandedly prepared a step by step introduction to the world of peer to peer.

It is written pretty much as an online course, with easily digestible capsules, and operates on three levels: 1) a basic intro; 2) some intermediate level additions; 3) and access to “Get into the Details” pages for those who want to achieve deeper levels of understanding.

I strongly recommend it, not just for the content, but for the format and presentation as well, which makes it perhaps the most accessible part of our wiki.

For starters, go here.

Mauro explains his motivation and the organization of the pages here.
