love love the intiative. this is what I believe our internet will become, a giant decentralized p2p, immune to the forces that is aimed to destroy content (either copyright, censorship , anti-anonymity).
I believe that this distributed p2p internet will the ultimate threat to internet companies. Imagine we no longer need to trust a corporation with all of our data, imagine we no longer need to be victims of attention theft while using services that is entirely powered by nodes of the network.
This is of course very far off and not at all the perfect utopia I am describing but this is definitely the right way to go and eventually the future.
Not sure if ipfs.io will take off, unless it offers something that regular internet does not, the name could also be changed to something more catchy.

- dylankpowers 12y agoHi! If you haven't already found it, a good way to start is to lurk around the IRC #ipfs channel on freenode (logs: https://botbot.me/freenode/ipfs/ https://botbot.me/freenode/ipfs/). If you have any skills in Golang go ahead and check out the issues labeled as "help wanted" https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/labels/help%20wanted https://github.com/jbenet/go-ipfs/labels/help%20wanted. Those ones are generally easier for newcomers to tackle. If you have other talents go ahead and ask in the IRC channel and we'll point you in the right direction.
