What began as a collection of links in a README file on GitHub, has grown to become the single largest web-directory of information related to Self Sovereign Identity.
In 2017, Inspired by @peacekeeper's [blockchain-identity](https://github.com/peacekeeper/blockchain-identity/) list, I began working on my own **curated list of resources related to decentralized identity**.
From the amount of information spread across the web, but not quite accessible to the uninitiated, I knew this community could appreciate aggregation and organization of its information ecosystem.
What began as a single page of links in a Readme file on GitHub, has grown to become the largest web-directory of information related to Self Sovereign Identity.
In 2018, I connected with [Kaliya 'Identity Woman' Young](https://identitywoman.net) who has ever been working on similar efforts, to map out the organizations and protocols and leading thought surrounding decentralized-identity.
In 2020 we launched a reboot of the original identity management feed aggregator [planetidentity.org](https://web.archive.org/web/20161029051802/http://planetidentity.org/).
The [Identosphere Blog Catcher](https://identosphere.net/) aggregates hundreds of RSS feeds, with pages for personal, business, organization, and web3 blogs.
Once the feed aggregator was established, we began a weekly newsletter called [Identosphere's Weekly Digest](https://newsletter.identosphere.net), using the Blog Catcher as its primary source, along with a weekly twitter search.
Now with over 2 years of content collected in the newsletter, we're sorting that content into this directory, upgrading the processes by which its stored and displayed, and cleaning up any old-outdated content created as I was initially learning and discovering these processes.
