Features

Syndie can operate in a manner similar to blogs, newsgroups, forums, and other content tools; it provides for various uses of syndication, including combinations of publicly or privately accessible data, and one or multiple contributors to a syndicated repository. The repositories themselves may be syndicated over a combination of anonymous services (such as I2P, Tor, etc.), and non-anonymous services (such as WWW or Usenet archives). The program is designed to provide sufficient security across its features, so that it is worthwhile for a user to run it over an anonymized network.
