7. I wonder if this is in line with other similar projects.

It seems farther along, but the open source versions are equally ambitious.

I know they did something like this in Tunisia during the Arab Spring.

I also know of several similar projects but couldn't say how far along
they are because I don't have the technical understanding. It seems
some of them not ready for prime time, and I'm not sure which ones
I can link to that wouldn't raise alarm bells over at a certain agency.

I have thought about writing a userscript that would allow me to post
links and asides to fellow DUers only, without worrying about google
bots archiving it in search. It might be tricky though...

Ooh, ooh, and a userscript allowing users to OTR their PMs!
