WASTE - new 'secure' collaboration software

Hello all,

An interesting new project by Nullsoft[1], the WinAmp developers.

"WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables secure
distributed communication for small (on the order of 10-50 nodes)
trusted groups of users. 

WASTE is designed to enable small companies and small teams within
larger companies to easily communicate and collaborate in a secure
and efficient fashion, independent of physical network topology."

It's a GPL'd project that combines IM, chat, file browsing/searching
and transfer (upload and download). It uses RSA and Blowfish, and I
thought some folk on this list might be interested.

I found out about this from Need To Know[2] who report that Nullsoft
have withdrawn the source. But it's out there[3], and it's hoped that
others will take it forward, as they did with Gnutella[4].

Apologies for cross posting.

cheers,
