Rodi on the front burner
p2pnet.net News:- Does Rodi tweak your interest?
It’s a diminutive p2p client/host (under 300K of binary code) implemented in pure Java and purpose-designed to, "serve the filesharing community with fast data delivery and serve the Open Source community by facilitating faster software deployment”.
Viv at IntegrityP2P did a great interview with Rodi’s Larry Tet and now he’s looking for help, says Dana Blankenhorn in ZDNet, to wit:
“I am struggling to find beta testers. So far methlabs.org helped me here and there, but they are open source too, live from donations and have their own projects. Independent technical evaluation of the project would be nice too. I am not a network guru. I spent last 10 years in telecom.
“If you decide to run ‘real-life’ test you will need to arrange that. Contact me or post on methlabs.org or Planet Peer – guys there will help. Online docs are a mess of functional requirements/software requirements/design. Not everything you will find there is implemented and not everything is implemented as designed. In some places I used shortcuts to bring proof-of-concept fast. There is long thread on p2pforums.”
"We’ve been playing with Rodi recently, it looks like it has *great* potential, so we’re trying to help out Larytet as much as we can," Methlabs’ Joe Farthing told p2pnet.
Stay tuned.
