Sounds like an interesting idea. I am a little concerned about privacy though. The idea of a central server hosting all the sensitive data of all users using this system is questionable, considering the open approach.
I can't think of a decentralized solution right away but i would be interested what you have to say about this. Just think about the value of the database if this thing works. Names, adresses and interests. I really think, a central server hosting all those info could be quite a concern.
I gonna keep a look at the development, because i think, it's a pretty interesting project. I also would be able to contribute a client, because i am a java developer (especially eclipse rcp).
Keep me updated. ^^

in Considering Moving To Drupal on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
hey there
well.. i've heard a lot of very good things about drupal and i think it's really worth a look. But i think it's more headed towards a community page, than a "simple" blog.
I've switched from wordpress to serendipity about half a year ago and i really like it, mostly because of its great plugin system which makes writing your own plugins pretty fast and painless.
But as i said, a lot of people i know love drupal and i really think you should have a look at it.
Best wishes,
Matthias

in Yep, IE Still Sucks on dmiessler.com | grep understanding
Hey there. I can tell you my theory:
IE is still the browser with the highest market share. MS wants to keep it that way.
Let's see how a usual web developer HAS to work at the moment. He writes a page for a customer who is using IE. He knows, that the majority of users out there are doing the same thing. So he wants the web developer to write code, that works on IE.
The web developer is now forced, to write FALSE and BAD code so IE displays the page "correctly".. what in return makes the page ugly in every other, w3c conform browser..
The casual user with no clue about technology and standards opens the page in IE and sees "oh.. it looks good".. then you tell him to use Firefox because it's better.. so he opens the page in Firefox and guess what.. the page looks like crap or doesn't work at all, because the underlying code is "optimized" for IE, meaning, it's wrong and bad code, a good browser just refuses to handle. So the casual user thinks "hey! leave me alone with Firefox.. i wanna have a GOOD browser.. see, Firefox can't show this page.. my beloved IE can!".. and he keeps using IE.
Belive me.. it happens.. i experienced it myself..
So i agree with you. I really don't think, that ALL developers at MS are crap and just CAN'T fix the problems.. their paln is it to keep those bugs in there for the above mentioned reason.
Sad world..
