Free time soon? Next week I'll be finishing up finals and school for the semester. This means I'll have a couple weeks to myself before I do an internship. I'm getting overwhelmed by the things that need to be fixed and the things I'd like to add to chungles on top of school and work, so I've decided to ask for developers to help make chungles great. Anyone interested, feel free to drop me an email. I welcome all help.

The next release won't be too big. As soon as transfer issues such as a connection interruption and aborting a transfer are resolved, I'll be releasing 0.1.1. Also, I've modularized the code more. I finally divided up the code to packages and split off the UI and core functionality from the main application. This will allow cool things in the future like daemonization fixed and better, Swing, ncurses, etc as well as laying out the structure so that other applications will be able to use the chungles protocol (native file system support!, etc).

After I get the 0.1.1 bugfix release out, I would then like to start focusing on a user authentication layer in the core. This will probably be a never ending piece to chungles as I'd like to add things like MD5 challenges, SSL, PAM, LDAP, Active Directory, and so on. There's going to be focus on just making it exist for now.

Finally, I'm thinking about redoing this ugly site. If I have enough spare db resources, I'm thinking I will redo chungles.com as a wiki using mediawiki. This way, all the necessary information will be in a familiar way and it will be simpler for me to edit and throw stuff on it.

I really need to multi-thread myself ;)
