Some time ago I had an idea for a web presentation of WoT - I thought it would be fun to explore and also maybe present a kind of gamified incentive to build WoT. I also thought that given how old the thing is there should be good libraries that would make writing it easy. Unfortunately this is was not the case - there are no real libs - there are only some workarounds that shell out the execs to do the work and then parse the output and it would be to resource expensive to run it at a web server.
I don't think WoT or PGP are fundamentally flawed - but we need a lot of experimentation to make it work and for that we need good libs.
