I met Mark and Tim Berners-Lee at Extensible Summit and was very happy that they are still actively fighting for the World Wide Web in its full distributed, decentralized glory.
I do work on synchronization in distributed systems, and would like to add my database, http://gunDB.io/ http://gunDB.io/, to the list. Why? Because it answers his questions in the "Some State and Processing Really Wants to Be Centralised" section. If you want more info on this, check out the github repo, or ask me.
Anybody interested in these subjects should be at https://2015.distributed-matters.org/ber/ https://2015.distributed-matters.org/ber/, Kyle Kingsbury will be doing the keynote and later on in the day I'll be presenting my protocol.
Mark's "Modifying The Web is Scary" section is important, I do see a lot of people reinventing the wheel but it isn't too hard to get everything to work over PATCH (sadly a verb which didn't take off but is in the specification) and upgrading to WebSockets.
Overall, great post. I hope more people talk about this.
