@weex well, you can probably peruse the resources of RWoT conferences and their website..
@humanetech Thank you, I did not see this yet. I find a lot of the conversation around WoT is based on GPG and verifying that they match real life people, rather then the more general case of reputation networks.
Perhaps this effort should re-orient toward the term reputation system since it's about that generic model.
@weex hmm, yes. Reputation systems are quite tricky, and often have unintended side effects.
PS. I have this book on them (in my backlog, ha ha): https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/building-web-reputation/9781449382193/
@humanetech I should have known there'd be an O'Reilly book on it. I'd be interested to know what they say about webs-of-trust.
@weex I did not get further than the ToC and some quickscans, but the book is for future use hopefully.
I have a tiny inkling of an idea, a showerthought really, for a private reputation system that works more like trust in the real world. It is personal and readily visible nor directly influence by others (e.g. karma score).
But it'd need a lot of thought to give hands and feet, and I lack the time now. I'll follow your threads with interest.
