content sharing

I'm happy to announce the availability of a new real Swiss Project:

Shared Content

http://drupal.org/project/sharedcontent

The project Shared Content (SC) introduces technology to build a content sharing network. Different to classical content sharing that duplicate full content items across multiple servers, this project is first about notifying system about content availability and building references to relevant/related content from the network.
On our project page there's some documentation with a lot of details:

Here is the structure of the site I'm setting up. One primary (or default) site with complicated functionality - ubercart, and a host of other feature-providing modules. Four or five child/additional sites with much simpler functionality and independent content. So far this would clearly call for a multisite setup.

The Open Media Foundation's last deliverable for the Open Media Project Knight Foundation grant is a shared content solution for the OMP partners. Our proposed solution differs from existing solutions in that we want to enable automated or user-driven content-sharing, as opposed to the admin-focused solutions that exist with PEGMedia or the ACM/Telvue solution... For example, we want a community member in San Fran, searching for "Cambodian Comedy" videos to see the matching files in SF, and also see a lower-tier of search results from other OMP partner sites.
