When I first read about arch, I found both a lot of things I liked about it,
and things I did not like so much--feelings I suspect others have felt as well.
Because arch's underlying concepts are what gives it unlimited potential and
because it is backed by GNU, which is in the end, all of us, I feel committed
to making it work for me. So my solution is to create a layer between tla and
the user that gives the user more freedom and a more efficient way of using
tla. They unique feature of this piece of software is that it won't require tla
to be installed on the local machine which will allow it to be compatible with
any system. It will be able to use tla remotely over SSH (or locally). It will
keep track of the revisioned files itself, in some method that was friendlier
to Windows to improve arch's viability while the main archive will remain on a
compatible system. To preserve arch's inherent decentralized repository, each
user would have their archive hosted either remotely or locally on a compatible
system, but there is also the option for a semi decentralized repository where
a group of users would share one, another group would share another. I haven't
worked out any of the details, but I'm planning on using GTK for the GUI. I was
hoping to find people who are interested so I could make this software a
reality. My main restriction is time,
