Difference between revisions of "More on GING"

'''Principles from Open Directory.''' Websites would apply for registration on GING by filling out a form on-line. The applications would be reviewed by volunteers to make sure that the websites were indeed non commercial and met other criteria to be determined. Each website would itself indicate the pages it wants to have crawled and listed, up to a set maximum number (for example, ten pages per website).

'''Principles from Wikipedia.''' The good behaviour of the registered sites would be checked by users, who would report violations to a review committee. The review, discussion and democratic decision-making process would be similar to that used on Wikipedia.

'''Principles from Free Software.''' The software to run the system, including the mechanisms for site crawling and ranking, would be developed by the users.

'''Principles from P2P.''' Part of the vast computing power required would be provided by the personal computers of the users through a P2P mechanism.
