Here's a recent and pretty approachable conference talk from the @p2panda folks.

#p2panda is a set of peer-to-peer libraries that we're using to power connections between nodes in the local resilience mesh that we hope to deploy across Merri-bek. It's been a bit of a journey, because we're using something that is not really standing still yet, but I think this talk conveys why we're taking this approach, and the potential it could unlock. In particular, early on they talk about all the ways in which P2Panda is designed for post internet transmission methods.
