Privacy
One of the classes I took last semester, which was fun for a geek doing an MBA, was "Online Privacy". It was taught (primarily) by Lorrie Cranor, of AT&T and chair of the W3C's P3P working group.
Anyway, for a final project for the class, I implemented a web based translator of P3P into English. She expressed an interest in using it for testing "recommended language" for what the various P3P tags do, but asked if I would rewrite it so that it could more easily have additional languages plug into it.
I have a test bit that I write up and sent to her, and being the geek that I am, I though it would be a shame if I didn't also put a version of this on Goats for useless purposes. I'm working on that now, so if you're interested, watch here to see when I'm done.
Update: well...it's live, but I think i'll wait to announce it to the actual Goats readers until I put together our own P3P policy.
