4 Why not build something around a "web of trust" with pgp signatures? Have an
5 open tree where people could submit anything that passed autotests. All
6 submisions would be signed. Signed content could only get updated buy user
7 with same signature or dev with higher trust for that area.

11 This idea is a bit rough, but I think it could be intresting to build on.
