A really good start Zbigniew !

After some struggling with the PurpleWiki I decided to use Kwiki instead. So the new link is:
artcom-studio.com/kwiki/index.cgi
The server should not go down in the nearest future. So I am ready.

Sorry for the inconveniences.

This is great.

I would argue that the routing of "karmic reputation" to near parties should occur in the analysis of individual foaf files. Perhaps services such as eBay could also play a role (as they have so effectively demonstrated with their reputation system).

When I was in high school I used to play Warlords. It had this simple feature which allowed people to state whether they had "friendliness" or "loathing" for an other player, or even "neutrality", and so on. Perhaps we can create a relatively open means for one person to express his opinion of another person. These opinions could have a strength rating, as well as room to explain why you feel that wat.

This sort of data, coupled with a means to create contextual relationships in foaf, could be analyzed by third parties to help strangers decide what sort of relationship they might want to establish with an online (and even offline) persona.

While such a loose expression of reputation would be highly error-prone, it would allow for the most diversity with strong corrective forces imposed by each participant's community. Most likely people would have to maintain several personae, or the wires between work, home, and various social circles might get crossed.
