DiSo Project

Silo free living.

Social networks are becoming more open, more interconnected, and more distributed. Many of us in the web creation world are embracing and promoting web standards — both client-side and server-side. Microformats, standard APIs, and open-source software are key building blocks of these technologies. This model can be described as having three sides: Information, Identity, and Interaction.

Diso (dee • soh) is an initiative to facilitate the creation of open, non-proprietary and interoperable building blocks for the decentralized social web.

Our first target is WordPress, bootstrapping on existing work and building out from there.

So what does that mean?

We’re building Wordpress plugins that implement or build on:

microformats like XFN, hCard, XOXO - wp-contactlist, wp-profiles

OpenID - wp-contactlist, wp-openid-server

OAuth

…and others

Blogroll
