[svlug] Distributed reputation system project announcement

[Mark C. Langston]

Given the recent discussion of reputation systems in various anti-spam
fora, I've decided to finally start working on my distributed reputation
system in earnest.  The working title for the project is: Gossip
Optimized for Selective Spam Prevention (GOSSiP).
                                                                                
There's a website that details the current concepts at
http://sufficiently-advanced.net
                                                                                
There's a mailing list set up (via mailman) to which interested
people can subscribe:
https://secure.roadtoad.net/mailman/listinfo/gossip
                                                                                
There's also some extremely early skeleton code on the
sufficiently-advanced page (a skeleton sendmail milter and
threaded GOSSiP server, both in C).
                                                                                
I'd invite anyone interested in being involved in the project,
particularly those who'd like to help develop the code, to
subscribe to the mailing list.
