I’ll be honest, this is a low effort post and half the reason im posting is to revisit this.

Other half of the reason is to suggest we create a thorough and well-maintained subcommie (here for instance) on subjects such as those in the URL i shared. discuss

    Sorry for the uninformed question, but what is IPFS?

    Git repository sounds good, I may create one if you think that it’s useful.

      It’s basically a P2P protocol (think bittorrent) which you can use to host not only just file repos but websites as well in a decentralized way. Each file uploaded gets a hash specific to the exact contents of the file; so uploading a PDF of the Manifesto will give you a hash to give to others, which points to that exact file.

      It’s very git-like but without the crutch that a lot of people use git with which is a centralized upstream server. Can be accessed from a web browser as well so you can really “host” a site full of references and docs in a user-friendly way while making it more robust to server outages and takedowns/censorship.
