FOSDEM presenter Jah Kosha will pitch the idea that the web can be made inclusive by introducing some middleware called #akoopa to share websites using torrents. This is severely needed. I cannot even read legal statutes that I am bound by because the gov publishes law on exclusive websites.

It’s similar to my youtube-torrent idea:

I think it must be quite complicated to implement. Torrents traditionally work on static data. An ISO image or mpeg4 doesn’t change, so the hash locks in the content and makes it possible to share pieces and assemble them with integrity checking. I have no idea how they are doing that with a webpage, which could potentially change every second. I don’t know if they have a way to add updates to a torrent of an existing page, or if they construct a new torrent on a snapshot basis.
