It implements a flexible object model for different +BBS backends, along with an asymmetric authentication and remote +procedure call protocol. + +This project aims to become a protocol agnostic middle-ware solution +for identity-based information storage & retrieval, much like the +Project Jabber's goal toward instant messaging, or Project JXTA's aim +toward distributed services. + +If you are new to the telnet-bbs platform, please download a copy of +Melix BBS software (in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified +Chinese) at http://melix.elixus.org/. + +For some of its practical uses, search for OurNet::BBSApp on CPAN, and +the sample scripts in the eg/ directory in this module's distribution. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/OurNet-BBS/ |
