Ruben Eschauzier and Ruben Taelman will present a maintrack paper on “Revisiting Link Prioritization for Efficient Traversal in Structured Decentralized Environments”.

This paper evaluates link prioritization for Link Traversal Query Processing in structured environments like #projectSolid. It defines and extends the R3 metric, reimplements algorithms modularly in Comunica, and finds that existing methods offer no performance gain over FIFO traversal.

One idea of course would be to decouple UI and server instances, cfr the fediverse, while including a solution for federated yet encrypted DMs. And having at least the option to store your own data in your own #projectsolid pod.

The business case for interoperability—as in many other non-gov cases as well—is however hard to make. Regulation simply isn't there yet, and probably would also come with some resistance as this won't be built over one night.

Some innovations come unbearably slow.

In fact, I experienced that solid-client works well first-hand, when using it in my spare time to build what I'm proud to consider a vital tool for Solid app developers: Penny.

...which brings me to #ProjectSolid: the enthusiasm around it is fantastic, and even in my life-after-Inrupt I would love to see it succeed.

Which means that yes, I'll try to stay involved, keep maintaining Penny, keep empowering people building on top of it.
