Revision as of 12:00, 4 November 2009
An alternative to extending e-book readers - a file distribution system for the server and a client for the XO. The goal of this project is to build an easy system to host files on the server that can be downloaded using the browser activity and possibly a file distribution downloader activity.
This project is broken into two sections, a server and the client.
Project Status
The server is a php script, this is designed to be a quick prototype/test of concept. In the future, it may be converted into a stand alone python server with little or no setup configuration. Please feel free to comment on the discussion page if you think this would be a valuable move, or to just leave it as a php script on the server.
Code
The code can be found at http://gitorious.org/jlew/xs-file-distro
