-|Web pages over rsync
+|Weighted GeoDNS
-|A lot of web pages today are dynamic and so uncacheable, even though large parts of them are the same between requests. The rsync protocol is a great way of sending the deltas between two similar files in a small number of bytes. tridge has done a proof of concept, using proxies and [http://librsync.sourceforge.net/ librsync], for caching everything and using rsync to send deltas instead of complete pages when things change a bit. This has the potential to transform the web experience for users on slow connections. The project would be to fix up his proxy, and make a matching Firefox extension which together would form a proof of concept.
