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.
License GNU General Public License v3 or later
Development Status: 3 - Alpha
Details (job description, contact ...):
I am starting on the next generation of my project and I would like to use a compression algorithm (or algorithms) "under the hood" to reduce the disk space used.
I am not ready for coding yet but I would like to get an idea of what a good, existing, GPLv3 or later compatible compression library or libraries are available.
I am open to using different algorithms for different types of files, if that is better. For example, I am planning to use FLAC to compress uncompressed audio (wave files, etc.).
