[doap-interest] DOAP and lists of [favorite] applications?

[Allen Gunn]

Hi Udis and DOAPers

Aspiration (www.aspirationtech.org) is working on a tool that does 
some of what you ask about. We've built a Flickr-like front end for 
tagging DOAP records, and coupled that with social networking 
features that let users browse "who's using what" and "who else is 
using what I'm using". We've also added some basic social 
recommendation/collaborative filtering features as well. We don't 
have a "favorite" flag, but that is certainly an enhancement we could 
consider, especially if it was part of DOAP :^)

The Social Source Commons platform is targeted at nonprofit techies 
to support mapping and enumerating their tools universe, but the 
underlying code is entirely general for any application space. The 
app is written in Rails, and we'll be releasing it under GPL.

We're still in a limited beta phase and working out some kinks, but 
anyone who wants to check it out should email me and I can send you 
complete Beta Program details.

thanks & peace,
gunner
