[Freedombox-discuss] Announcing FreedomBuddy v0.4: "Good Enough"

Hi folks, after 8 months of development, FreedomBuddy version 0.4 has been released. Proudly, it's being released exactly a year after the initial design process began (President's Day 2012 to President's Day 2013). I'm happy to call this version "stable and useful enough for people other than me to test." https://github.com/nickdaly/freedombuddy In these 8 months, all the changes have been under the hood, with few to no UI changes. We've moved to a three-tier server-client model, to work around existing and to prevent future incompatibilities between server libraries. The FreedomBuddy server enables the FreedomBuddy command line client, which listens for requests from all the other external connectors. This means that adding additional connectors will require zero overhead or cooperation from the FreedomBuddy core, significantly lowering the bar to create connectors to different protocols, overall. I've also put together a quickstart guide that tries to walk the user through a very basic setup process. Please read through it and offer any suggestions that'll make it easier to understand and use. If you're interested in helping me test out a distributed network, please get in touch. Thanks for your time, Nick -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
