Hi folks,

We are making Kerika available to the public as part of a wide beta testing program. We like to call it the smarter alternative to email for sharing documents, ideas and projects within distributed teams. The application is written in Java and is supported for Windows and Macs at present; we will likely add Linux support in the future (we know it runs on Linux; just don't have the resources to properly test that platform.)

Kerika uses the JXTA platform for its p2p connectivity. It isn't pure p2p; we added what we call a "server assist": if you update a project or document that you are sharing with some buddies, some of whom happen to be offline at the moment, a "storage peer" at our data center stands in for your missing buddies. When your buddies come back online, they can get any updates that they might otherwise have missed.

I would welcome feedback from everyone. You can check out the software at www.kerika.com, in particular take a look at some of the many Flash demos at http://www.kerika.com/flash_demos.html. Kerika is free at the moment; in the future it may be offered as a subscription service.

Thanks,
Arun Kumar
