Locker

I assume you mean recent and active projects; there's nothing recent I can remember that attempts to do the kind of thing I tried to describe in the second paragraph of my comment. (Which is why I intend to start working on my own modest, desperate attempt at it in the following months.) However, there are various projects, some of them historical, that have attempted to tackle it in limited contexts, or implemented parts of it, or have envisioned it in holistic systems that are now outdated. Almost all of the somewhat interesting ones I've come across can unfortunately be classified as one of the following: 1) Productized, narrowly focused yet-another-app 2) Academic or overly specialized in-house or personal project with no real effort at widespread usability 3) Unmaintained and outdated 4) Essentially vaporware With that said, here are

Lately I've been writing a client for TeleHash, a protocol which provides addressing, subscription and NAT traversal for p2p apps. The protocol itself is still being fleshed out and the existing clients are only prototypes so I'm aiming to create a solid reference client and test suite. https://github.com/jamii/erl-telehash http://scattered-thoughts.net/all?tag=telehash&abridge=t... http://telehash.org TeleHash was originally created for use in the Locker project, which I also contribute to. Locker gathers data from all manner of services and websites (gmail, IMAP, XMPP, facebook, wordpress, twitter etc) and stores it on your own machine so you can access all your data from a uniform interface without having to trust an external site. In the future Locker will expand this with apps providing search, visualization and data mining. https://

The Locker project has a similar goal but is completely open-source. You can run it on your own server if you don't want to put all your eggs in someone else's basket. https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker

This is the aim of Locker: https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker

A locally-hosted Greplin-like service is an idea I've been kicking around for a while and slowly prototyping -- my angle is more on the archival side, but once you have the data search is a natural step. Another interesting attempt down these lines is the (just recently announced) Locker project https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker (being written by the guy who created XMPP).

There's also a difference between trusting various bits and pieces of your data to exist on a variety of online services, and trusting a single service to aggregate all of your data from everywhere. A local version of Greplin would be more interesting to me; I think the Locker project https://github.com/quartzjer/Locker might make that possible someday.
