Hi all, I work at Schluss, came across this topic and found it very informative. Thanks for all your comments and thoughts! We share your distrust against anyone making big claims. We also have been disappointed more than once. So, we get where you come from. We believe in dialogue. Therefore, we take each and every one of you serious. With what we are trying to achieve we know we have a major challenge up ahead. We take it to the extreme: Schluss does not want to have any knowledge about its users and usage. The company at this moment is a foundation (no shares!) with the sole purpose to become a cooperative. This way every user is co-owner. On the technical side, the system must be decentralized and distributed and we want to stay away from vendor lock-ins. You as a user will own and control what is yours. No one will know of your existence or have access to your data unless you want so. This is complex and difficult to achieve because there is so much to take into account. And even though we're building a few years already, we know we're just getting started. Our software is, of course, open source and BSD licensed.
