What is giFT, you ask? giFT is a modular daemon capable of abstracting the
|
||
|
|
communication between the end user and specific filesharing protocols
|
||
|
|
(peer-to-peer or otherwise). The giFT project differs from many other similar
|
||
|
|
projects in that it is a distribution of a standalone platform-independent
|
||
|
|
daemon, a library for client/frontend development, and our own homegrown
|
||
|
|
network, OpenFT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The goal of this project is to ensure that user interface developers never waste
|
||
|
|
time with the low-level details of a protocol and that network programmers never
|
||
|
|
waste time with the user interface details. Along those same lines it allows end
|
||
|
|
users to control which protocols they use no matter which giFT interface they
|
||
|
|
have selected as their favorite. Any new filesharing network can be supported
|
||
|
|
without any change to the user interface.
