It feels NNTP-like to me. i.e., the right approach to this involves app
forks talking via some well-defined protocol to each other, which protocol
can exchange the code of the app itself and flood-fill the other data from
app to app.
Something like NoCeM could then be used to instantiate a web-of-trust atop
this layer.
(Design? I don't have anything but a `this feels right', not really.)

You don't use NNTP, you use the data structures and stateless synchronization protocols
invented for modern DVCSes.
Gestation?

They'd serve: they do the flood-fill part as well.
But what we still need is a web-of-trust, so you can ignore nodes and
everything flowing through them if you want to.
