/OpenFrugality

A distributed system for FreeCycle-like communities (similar to the techniques used by OpenMicroBlogging). Aiming to be easy to install and administrate, it's hoped that the community spirit can be brought back to community recycling.

Main aims of the project:
- Establish a microformat standard for community recycling programmes to share information
- Create a platform for hosting any number of local communities (from a single community to a global 'hub')

Some basic technical requirements
- Ensure the system is easy to install for non-technical administrators, requiring no specialised software to be installed on the hosting environment besides the chosen scripting language.
- To enable the greatest ease of integration, a RESTful approach will be taken
- Open standards such as OpenID and OAuth should be utilised as much as possible so that development doesn't have to start from scratch.
- (Preferably before coding starts) architectural designs should be documented and where possible reviewed.
