After some excellent discussions at Den Hague in June, and lots of talk on a mailing list, 6 of us met in Berlin to hammer out this intertrading protocol [below].
This is based on what I published eighteen months ago, but with a few tweaks and a whole social side as well.
This protocol includes a sort of template for intertrading communities to decide how they work, and the API to implement.
So the hope is to use this for CES when we rebuild it this winter. This is bigger than me now, and that probably means we need to find money. The intertrading software shouldn't be just hacked together, but the right people need to be identified and paid to do it properly!
