In plaats van één centrale machine die informatie aan vele andere machines levert, is de focus verschoven naar het mogelijk maken van het aan elkaar doorgeven van bestanden op alle machines.

Versies, veerkracht en beschikbaarheid maken het een nuttige infrastructuurbouwer voor digitale archivarissen, terwijl de gedistribueerde aard ervan groepen mensen in staat heeft gesteld om censuur te omzeilen.
