* <<G1S.0025>> Federation as CDN
I'm having some conceptual convergence with decentralized message
distribution systems, like GNU social, pump.io, etc, and Xanalogical
publishing.
- All of these systems could/should have versioning. Notes/posts
should be immutable, and there should be a "revision" link relation
on revised posts pointing back to their parents. Tent does this
already.
- Distributing the data to several hubs (caching servers) is a boon
to the small content creator who wants better control over his media
— which means a smaller back-end — but needs/wants his
distribution capability to be able to cope with some level of
virality, should he be so lucky.
- In Xanadu, media should *always* be pulled from the publishing
server, as transclusions always link back to their source.  However,
if these federated caching servers held copies of the primedia, but
those copies linked back to the source, the important concept is
retained.
