+Interforum
+-------------
+
+* similar to livejournal, reddit, slashdot
+* federated accounts (user@domain.tld) with petnames via contact list
+* RSS feeds of new topics started by individuals or for groups
+* no concept of "friending" built in, but do have ACL (can view, can comment)

+* abuse/downvote gets reported to thread-hosting domain

+Improved Email
+-----------------
+
+* "reliable asynchronous user-specific messaging"
+* same store-and-forward paradigm; same IMAP-like message archive paradigm
+* every core message signed by user and domain; unsigned messages get dropped
+* core message headers can be pseudo-shadowed/re-written by extention headers
+* user signing can be delegated to domain
+* domain maintains public keyserver for all hosted users
+* forwarded messages (mailing lists) signed by forwarding domain
+* users or domains can brand a user or domain as spam/abusive
+* domains maintain a web of trust/karma using announcements, refuse messages
+    from blacklisted users/domains
+* special abuse@, admin@ "out of band" addresses for resolving blocklist
+    issues, not blocked except for severe cases
+* attachments signed seperately, referenced by core message
+* standardize (via defaults) on compressed UTF-8 message body
+    optional safe-subset of HTML
+* hook into system-wide cacert/web-of-trust; individual user agents can specify
+    fallback policy

 Quick tip: when you have ``.gitignore`` ignoring everything (with a ``*`` 
 entry), you need to use ``git-update-index --add FILE`` to actually add the
 file, instead of just ``git-add FILE``.

+Over HTTP
+--------------
+To make a repository available over "dumb" HTTP, set up a bare repository and
+copy ``hooks/post-update.sample`` to ``hooks/post-update``.

+To add links from gitweb, add to the ``@git_base_url_list`` list in the
