> I made a previous comment about this being a hard problem[1]. That comment doesn't address the same problem. I'm fully aware that current software makes it virtually impossible to conveniently and securely host stuff ourselves right now. I am also fully aware that a general purpose computer can never be idiot proof. What I was saying is, we should write special purpose software dedicated to a few chosen forms of hosting (mail, web, some P2P stuff for big files…). The software can be simple, secure, and easy to use. It just doesn't exist for the most part. Also, one problem at a time. Wikis are great, but we're talking about allowing untrusted write access to the system, which is possibly the hardest problem of all. Let's start by single author publishing and build from there.
