Zarutian 2005-07-25-15:02 Okay I am going to make a simpe peer to peer system in Tcl

First of the spec:

'Functional specfication of simpleP2P'

Overview:

  • simpleP2P is a little program that demonstrates how to make a simple peer to peer system in Tcl
  • 'This spec is not, by any stretch of the imagination, complete.' All of the wording will need to be revised several times before it is finalized.

Scenarios:

  Scenario 1: Raoul
   Raoul is a programmer relativitly new to Tcl and wants to try something
   kewl with Tcl. Raoul doesnt want to install a big runtime on his machine,
   so he gets the tclkit for his platform of choice. He then downloads 
   simpleP2P.kit to the same folder (or if you prefere: directory) as his 
   tclkit executable is in. He drags the simpleP2P.kit over his tclkit 
   executable and therefor starts the simpleP2P application. Up pops the 
   console and a window showing him the built-in command manual for the
   application.

Non-Goals:

  * we are not going to use XML to fromat messages between peers
  * simpleP2P wont support connecting through a proxy.
  * simpleP2P wont have a file search capability

... work in progress
