Restructure, reformat and rewrite for 2025 #7

Merged
pukkamustard merged 14 commits from reboot-2025 into main 2025年08月05日 08:17:42 +02:00

This is a considerable change to the website.

Basic layout is:

  1. Introduction: Tries to answer "What is it?", "How does it work?", "How to use it?" and "Why should I use it?"
  2. FAQ: Provides some details and a comparison (see #5)
  3. Documentation: Link to the spec and the eers.
  4. Projects: List of projects using ERIS (resolves #6)
  5. Software: tools, libraries and integrations.
  6. Contact

There are some TODOs sprinkled in here and there.

A rendered version is available here: https://inqlab.net/eris-2025/

<p>ERIS enables robust availability of content by defining an encoding of content into uniformly sized blocks and a short identifier. Blocks can be replicated over various transport protocols. The original content can be decoded from the blocks and the short identifier.

ERIS allows you to make content available robustly over computer networks by using identifiers that are location independent and network-optimized. It can be used for:

I went for "It can be used as a building block for decentralized and fault-tolerant applications, some examples being:" (see 7eaafd2a50).

"fault-tolerant" just to make it clear that it's not decentralized just to be decentralized.

The blocks are identified by the cryptographic hash of their content (content-addressing). This allows the integrity of the original content to be verified during decoding.

I think we shouldn't use the phrase "censorship-resistance" in high-level descriptions. What we mean is availability independent of location and connectivity. We could explain those first and follow up with a mention of censorship.

To actually solve a censorship problem with ERIS requires some additional layers and until those layers exist it's awkward to describe ERIS itself as censorship-resistent.

I'd like to see the point made somewhere that ERIS is stable and feature-creep resistant.

Good point. Added as a FAQ entry in 2cd0435eca.
