Bug#143759: O: kascade -- Client for Kascade, a distributed Open directory search-engine
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-20
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the kascade package.
The package description is:
Kascade is a novel type of search-engine, based on the Open directory
principle. This means that anyone can structure a small part of the
information on the internet, corresponding to their personal interests or
expertise. The resulting parts are placed in a large categorical structure
that others can browse to search for information. Examples of Open Directory
initiatives are Dmoz and Infomarker.
.
In contrast with other Open Directory initiatives, though, the parts that
people maintain now reside on their own server. What results is a distributed
Open Directory! As with Gnutella, though, there are no fixed central servers.
This implies that anyone can start a new structure. Actually any piece can
be easily replaced, hopefully leading to competitive improvement. The
distributed nature and lack of central control facilities make for a
system immune to company or government control, much like Gnutella and the
Internet itself.
