[[FileShare]] is an activity that allows the user to share files from their journal.
The activity prompts the user for a list of files. When a user joins the shared activity, they are shown the file list where they can choose which files they would like to download.
==Project Status==
The project is under active development. I am currently looking for bug reports as well as suggestions for further improvement. Check out the current Dev Release (Dec. 11, 2009) or source code.
If you have found a bug, please report it the google group page or email to our google group email address.
==Features==
* Activity can be loaded up and files can be added and removed from the file list
* It can be shared and users who join are able to download files from the file list.
==Bugs==
* [Not yet implemented] Client is not notified about new files or removed files after they have connected.
* Sometimes user interface can become un-responsive during file transfers.
==Future Plans==
* Clients needs to communicate more to the server. In the current state, the server is not aware of the number of clients currently downloading files.
** Should show user who is currently downloading what files
** Download count on each file
** Prevent/Notify user from closing the activity while users are downloading from them.
* Server must announce new files and removed files to connected clients.
* Integration to the school server
** Current plans are to have a server running on the school server as well allowing authorized users to upload files to the school server as well.
