*But* ... flying middle class people around the world to check up on people doing the work on the ground is far from ideal. This can't help but create asymmetrical relationships, a problem I suspect the Just Peoples team are just as keen to solve as anyone else.

What might be better is a way for people doing community-led projects to form webs of trust and audit each other. Both within the Global South, and with solidarity groups in the Global North who are travelling to the South anyway, eg to offer practical support; deliver equipment, give training, etc.

That way, for every group a solidarity funding effort like Just Peoples has time to audit and trust, it opens up whole new networks of groups and projects they can treat as P2P audited.

So looping back round to my jumping off point, is there a way we can deploy fediverse tech to support the formation of these webs of trust, and P2P auditing?

GNU MediaGoblin was founded by @cwebber. Inspired by GNU social reviving development of the StatusNet project abandoned by Identi.ca, they developed a vision of enabling federation features between MediaGoblin services, and between those and services running GNU social, GNU FM, etc. To this end, along with Jessica Tallon (@tsyesika), they got involved with the AP standardisation process, which consumed a lot of their time and organising energy.

Response to MediaGoblin AP issue part 1;

> That's the clarity I was looking for, thanks. I've seen cases where conflict-avoidant maintainers say 'submit a patch' when what they mean is; 'this is an anti-goal but I don't want you to try to convince me otherwise, so I'll pretend to be open to a patch'. Clearly this is not you, which is a very good thing : )

> If you yourself are interested in implementing these features, I'd be glad to discuss in detail

Sadly I have neither the time or the skills. But if I hear from a dev wanting to gain experience with AP, and keen to brush up their Python, I will suggest adapting SH's federation library to work with MG as a project.

Thanks for the frank exchange, and keep up the good work.

Great stuff. Any source code published?

Had any contact with the @admin folks about checking the UX of federation between your 2 Tumblr-esque apps?
