Freenet (http://freenetproject.org/) is a decentralized, censorship-resistant
distributed data store. It is essentially an encrypted overlay network
(a "Darknet") which runs on top of the internet.
I've written a Mercurial extension that allows users to create and maintain
incrementally updateable repositories in Freenet. The authoritative
repository for the extension's code is hosted in Freenet but I'm also
mirroring it to bitbucket:
hg clone http://bitbucket.org/dkarbott/infocalypse_hgext/
If you're curious the ./infocalypse/doc/infocalypse_howto.html(*) file is
a good place to get started.
To actually use the extension you need to be running(**) a local Freenet node.
Feedback and constructive criticism welcomed.

If you're running a Freenet node, you can view it on this freesite:

(**) Freenet may not be for everyone. Wikipedia has a pretty neutral overview
(or at least it did the last time I checked):
