Free/Open Source Project of the Week
====================================

The Free/Open Source Project of the Week is `Cryptosphere`_.

  "The Cryptosphere is a global peer-to-peer cryptosystem for publishing and
  securely distributing content anonymously with no central point of failure.
  The system is openly federated and anyone can join. To ensure quality
  service and prevent abuse, the Cryptosphere uses an integrated
  cryptographically secure reputation system which provides a distributed web
  of trust." [`1`_]

Cryptosphere, Tahoe-LAFS and `Freenet`_ share similar goals.  Cryptosphere's
creator cites Tahoe-LAFS has a source of inspiration for Cryptosphere's
design.  Cryptosphere hopes to strike a balance between Freenet and
`MojoNation`_.
