[Klug-general] KLUG Project

[Dan Attwood]

I've looked at dar before and was probably the closest match to what I was
after. However my 'vision' is really something like this;

fire up a nice gui
click to browse to the music folder
click burn
feed it disks until finished

there could well be an advanced tab that allowed incremental backups, or to
produce a list of whats on each disk, or to allow gzipping or whatever. But
i see all of those functions as advanced.

As Karl mentioned archive integrity, especially across multiple media is an
issue. Therefore I wouldn't do compression of any kind. that way if a disk
is damaged there is still a chance of being able to  get some of the data of
the disks.

And as for forking or expanding a feature set, well it's a possibility.
however, without knowing much about programming, i think my proposed project
is a pretty simple one. Maybe it could serve as a test project to see how we
all work together and set up some infrastructure etc before moving on to
some of the bigger, more complicated and more exciting ideas that have been
suggest by kevin and others
