Making a trust network encyclopedia might be an interesting idea.  Like
Wikipedia, but without edit wars.  Everyone could have their own copy of as
many articles as desired, with a version determined by trust network being
displayed by default.

(Encyclopedias aside, any other wiki subject could, of course, be handled in a
similar fashion, with Wikipedia just being the largest current application of
wikis.)

A similar application would be selecting among software versions or varieties
in the case of multiple maintainers (e.g., seen in the various maintained trees
of Linux and of its various subsystems).
