Fwd: Announcing Tent version 0.1

FYI: Tent is quite an interesting federated social web protocol.  It
distinguishes itself from other protocols in that it follows the Linked
Data Principle of using HTTP URIs to name users.  Being only version 0.1
it's not quite 100% aligned with the RWW, but perhaps that is something
that could happen over time or drivers built between the two...

       Tent protocol v0.1
The documentation<http://tent.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=d093fa7d95&e=e4ff2ef29b>for
Tent version 0.1 is now available along with a reference server,
tentd<http://tent.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=d3e79b2b93&e=e4ff2ef29b>
.

This version of the Tent protocol, apps, and servers are still very young
and are all under "heavy development". That means using the software is a
lot like living in a building that's under construction. Loud, mysterious
sounds are common and things you normally take for granted might be
unreliable or not exist yet. At this stage, tentd should not be considered
secure or reliable. This will change quickly, but for now so **please don't
use it for anything you would not want public and/or lost.**

What this means for you
*Developers:* It's time to start writing apps for Tent and adding Tent
support to existing projects based on the current specification. We've
built a simple microblogging app and released it under the MIT license
here<http://tent.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=97a126694c&e=e4ff2ef29b>.
Both the server and app are early alpha releases and could use your help.
There are many bugs and vulnerabilities waiting to be found. Please report
and/or repair any problems you find to the development team.

*Users:* You can start using Tent. You need a Tent server to get started.
There are two options:

1. If you have access to a server and are comfortable running your own
server you can use this
repository<http://tent.us4.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=42113f5586&e=e4ff2ef29b>to
get up and running on your own hardware. Several PaaS providers are
currently working on a simplified install option. We will publish a list
when they are ready.

2. Tent.is<http://tent.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=250677861d&e=e4ff2ef29b>offers
single-click Tent hosting.
Tent.is<http://tent.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=07ac4c82ff&e=e4ff2ef29b>hosts
your Tent server and some apps, so you can start posting right away.
Right now it has TentStatus pre-installed with many more on the way.

Next Steps
Tent will continue to evolve rapidly. Version 0.2 is under development and
will offer several features we couldn't finish in time for v0.1. In the
mean time, let's start posting, hosting, and developing!

We have also posted a
list<http://tent.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f318e535ee890f27bfd3ec2d8&id=03b4abdf44&e=e4ff2ef29b>of
ways to help contribute to the Tent movement. We appreciate any help
you
can offer.
