This group is not part of the GNU Project.
I have been programming and working with computers for over 35 years and what has turned out to be the biggest problem for me is finding the information I am looking for. In the past 20 years I have owned dozens of computers and made a couple of thousand tarballs and hundreds of backup CD-R and DVD-Rs. Trying to find a particular spreadsheet, e-mail or photo is practically impossible.
So what I hope to accomplish with Objectify is:
- All of your data (documents, photos, music, videos, e-mail, etc.) is all stored it one place, so you always know exactly where it is.
- Data is organized so that you can easily find anything.
- Data can be accessed from any of your devices, at any time.
- It is secure so that if your laptop, external USB drive, memory stick, etc. is lost or stolen your data cannot be accessed.
- Non-private data can be shared with everyone. A good example would be the CD database with the track listings, but more information on everything.

Development Status: 3 - Alpha
Details (job description, contact ...):
When Objectify removes (deletes) files after they have been verified there are two options:
file-verify --remove-no-shred filex filey
file-verify --remove-min-shred filex filey
The min-shred is very minimal and I have been planning on adding a third option:
file-verify --remove-gnu-shred filex filey
But when I tried to integrate the GNU shred code into Objectify, I got so many errors that I didn't have time to figure out what the problem was. I would like to find someone that could get the GNU shred code to build and run within Objectify to provide that functionality.
