Alpha Version Rollout

Privly Alpha Rollout

Summary

The Alpha version of Privly 0.1.0 "Burrowing" was released on September 22nd 2012. The current functionality includes:

• The ability to encrypt the content so that decryption requires access to the link shared on the web. The decryption key is never shared with the host server.
• The ability to share content with specific emails, domains, and IP addresses
• The ability to grant sharing, updating, destroying, and viewing permissions on any piece of content according to any established identity
• Alpha versions of the Chrome and Firefox extensions

Users will be added to the Privly Foundation hosted servers in the following preference order:

1. Developers in good standing. Developers with commits, pull requests, and bug reports will have full user accounts on the Privly server.
2. Testers. Testers are people who signed up for the testing mailing list.
3. Kickstarter Alpha Invite Users. We will release Alpha invitations to Kickstarter users as we approach the release of the compiled encryption library.

Additionally, anyone will be able to create a user account for identity purposes (but not create content) after we roll the system out to testers.
