The web site

[Joerg F. Wittenberger]

Hi,

Araneida, CLiki etc. ...

may I suggest to evaluate Askemos, the redundant distributed agent
operating system.  It comes with a Wiki application (the pages at
www.askemos.org are served from that), which is based on a XSLT/DSSSL
mixture, it is going to be extened with
http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/dorai/tex2page/tex2page-doc.html and
possibly Scribe capabilites.  It already plays nicely with Lout and
htmldoc to produce pdf and ps page transparently.  Guys, this might
fit your needs.

I just did the byzantine aggreement implementation, so soon it will
run distributed and fraud proof without any central server, authority
whatsoever.

One of the next steps will be to port it to guile, than the
environment can run distributed in gimp, gnucash, texmacs, you name
it.

(Never mind the web site itself, it needs quite some work, especially
now, that the full proof of it's designed feature set is available.)

BTW: this GPL project is slowly taking the commercial route.  To
develop it's full potential, servers needs to be run by independant
legal bodies in a contract network (best if distributed
internationally).  Please get in touch if you are interested to form
the network.

Yes, I can second that.  We also prepare sometimes printouts that way,
if we object to pdf for some reason.
