If you have any ideas/suggestions for how this might be implemented in CKAN, please do drop a mail to the list ( https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/ckan-dev ) or add an issue …

I guess one difference is the approach to concurrency. Node is still (as far as I am aware) single thread per process, and so tends to take the approach of using multiple processes…

Try CHANGELOG.md, it's pretty thorough.

There's http://ckan.org (disclaimer, I work with this) and http://dataverse.org if you're more academically minded. There are others, but hard to judge any claims of open-sourcenes…

It is great to see them releasing data, but I'm surprised they went with something based on Socrata given there are other OSS products out there. I can't imagine how much they paid…

Most of my time I write Python, but I'm trying to spend more time with Elixir, and I haven't found using Erlang libs that hard. There are a handful of rules to remember, if that, a…

I'd suggest you find somewhere out of the house where you can go and work from time to time. I've been lazy of late (and regretting it) but I used to rent a desk at a local Hackspa…

The 'About Us' page says "As of today, the following companies have joined Advanced Erlang Initiative" under the "Founding Companies" header - which suggests more are able to join.…

That's great, until code.google.com no longer resolves, at which point it won't help :( Would be nice if they used that info to automatically redirect to the new site.

"Don’t think about marketing and growth until you have a product you know customers love. Everything else comes after that" This implies that the author thinks marketing is a uni-d…

There are already a few other data portals, and some of them (unlike Socrata) are Open Source. CKAN - http://ckan.org OpenDataCatalog - https://github.com/azavea/Open-Data-Catalog/…

C is much simpler than Scala, is it more limited?

I asked on twitter, and got a reasonable response. Investing in learning Scala is a much longer term thing than learning Go (which is, in their experience, a much quicker thing to …

You should read the first article in the series - https://gdstechnology.blog.gov.uk/2013/12/05/building-a-new-...

Sounds great. Would love to hear more. Is there a blog/project-page anywhere?

It's on the list - https://github.com/rossjones/alternative-internet#retroshare

Unfortunately http://tox.im says "Tox isn't ready yet, downloads will be available soon!"

Just in case you didn't see it before - github.com/rossjones/alternative-internet has a list of platforms,protocols and suchlike that are in this sort of area.

There are some interesting interviews with people working on re-decentralising the web at http://redecentralize.org/ - and there are more lined up for the coming weeks. Definitely …

Perhaps "Learning how to write a lisp-like language" is a requirement? Or perhaps it's low memory usage and fast start-up time for short-running tasks. Does it matter what he choos…

I've added it because the homepage has links to some interesting papers.
