: Admittedly, this wiki is dead and it seem that cosmopool is alike. Behind the curtain however, recent development has seen a migration to python3.2, psycopg2.4 and a change of the webserver (now based on tha standard library, previously twisted). We now allow anonymous connections and file uploads from qooxdoo are working. There is still pretty much to be doen however, so don't expect a release before autumn.

''Cosmopool global'' is a networking software project aiming at connecting server nodes operated by local collectives via internet in order to facilitate the sharing of resources (goods, skills, time, knowledge, ...) and to aid in overcoming commodity and alienation in everyday life. At long sight the information and communication tools to be created shall afford not only unalienated consumption, but also production and transportation beyond commodity economy.

The main focus is currently on the specification (using this wiki): [[data model]], [[database]] and [[distributed storage]] (see [[programming project]]) In parallel the standalone version of the software is being developed; in phase 2 the software shall not rely on a single database backend, but on a network of distributed storage nodes.

This is the wiki for the cosmopool software development project, a distributed ontology editor with ACLs.

The cosmopool software (still unreleased) is a knowledge management and communication tool for people living in (mainly local) communities, which are tied together in a network. Each community has its own server node and connects via existing internet lines and through inter-personal trust relationships to other communities.

Features:

  • Knowledge is modelled (ontologically) as classes (patterns), instances (+copies) and relations
  • Users have full control over the access to the knowledge they entered
  • Users can define own (knowledge) classes; generally accepted definitions arise from peer-reviewing
  • Emphasis on quick access to serial (table-like) knowledge (including automated searches)
  • Linking between knowledge items with minimal effort (drag&drop)
  • qooxdoo-based web application
  • python-based server
  • non-commercial software license

Continue with a more detailed introduction.
