CJDNS takes a good crack at this. NameCoin is a pretty interesting solution as well. But let's question for a moment whether this is actually an engineering problem. The DNS system is pretty bad; I'm sure that a few of us can come up with a better system in an afternoon. However, these competitors have failed to take hold. It's probably mostly a social or political issue. One of the things that I think is important is to start making internet architecture issues the subject of conversation at the dinner table, at town hall meetings, and just in everyday life. We need to ignite a social consciousness around the internet and its ways. We need strong, determined will to do better.
