zoup
zoup is reminiscent of by what soup.io was, somewhere between a feed aggregator and a tumblelog. instead of a centralised site, zoup will be distributed; every user can host their own federated instance.
zoup is not one software but a minimalistic spec, based on existing open standards. the zoup spec and reference implementation will be in the public domain.
the spec
see spec.
reference implementaion
there will be at least one reference implementation of the zoup spec in the public domain. it should be as self contained as possible, run with minimal dependencies and requirements, and be deployable on any posix-ish server.
contribute
zoup is open to contributions. feel free to open issues to discuss and send pull requests to improve the spec.
