Aaron D. Ball <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: The Enki Document Server System name: enki Type: non-GNU Description: The software is currently just a simple web server, responding in HTTP/1.1 to GET and HEAD requests for static documents. In the future, it will permit authorized users to introduce new documents (optionally relating them to existing documents), offer interfaces via other protocols (particularly SMTP and IMAP), and generally unite the essentially similar functions of weblogs, mailing lists, Usenet, web pages with comment facilities, and other forms of threaded communication. The software is written in Ruby, which provides powerful programming abstractions and standard libraries that together make it possible to write code that is both compact and legible. I believe that this, combined with careful modularization and delegation to the host operating system, will lead to software that is unusually maintainable, reliable, and secure. http://enki.net/ is a tiny web site running the current version of the software, whose source code is at http://enki.net/Writing/Ruby/DocumentServer for the time being. Other Software Required: The software is written in Ruby and relies on Ruby\'s rich set of standard libraries, which are licensed as described at http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/LICENSE.txt which explicitly permits licensing either under the GPL or under a different free software license specific to Ruby. At present, I do not anticipate adding further third-party libraries; my intention is to keep the software simple when I can, but create my own complexity when I must.
