openpeer

OpenPeer is an idea I had a few weeks ago when brainstorming for original web projects. It could be left at simply a tracker for open source projects, but why just leave it at that. The goal of openpeer is to create a strong community around people who love and use open source software, as well as those who have resources to spare for a charitable cause.

The long term goal for openpeer is to create a service that is used by hundreds of open source developers as a service for distributing their content. Along with that we will have a modified torrent client that allows the user to seed torrents by only setting options such as bandwidth and disk limits. All other functions, including selecting torrents to download, is handled by the client and the openpeer backend.

Right now, the project is in its very early stages, I only just bought a domain name. I am currently working on setting up the tracker, followed by web development. I am in need of web developers as well as a C/C++ dev for modifying transmission as our custom client.
