This is really great and is fully complementary to our Content Mine (contentmine.org).

Its' very similar to what I proposed as "the World Wide Molecular Matrix" (WWMM) about 10 years ago (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Molecular_Matrix). P2p was an exciting development then and there was talk about browser/servers. Then the technology was Napster-like.

WWMM was ahead of both the technology and the culture. It should work now and I think Ninja wil fly (if that's the right verb). I think we have to pick a field where there is a lot of interest (currently I am fixated on dinosaurs) , where there is a lot of Open material, and where the people are likely to have excited minds.

We need a project that will start to be useful within a month. Because the main advocacy will be showing that it's valuable. The competition is with centralised for profit services such as Mendeley. The huge advantage of Ninja is that it's distributed, which absolutely gauarantees non-centrality. The challenges - not sure in what order - are apathy, and legal challenges (e.g. can it be represented as spyware - I know it's absurd but the world is becoming absurd).

Love to talk at Berlin.
