Yes thanks.

Contributions are welcome. :-) :-) But that's just it, I, and I suspect a lot of other passers-by, don't know what's possible and missing. Take `blobpacked' you mention above. Google's first page of results for `perkeep blobpacked' doesn't describe what it is unless it's package documentation at https://perkeep.org/pkg/blobserver/blobpacked/ A list of: use cases, importers, and backends, with a sentence briefly describing each would give a much better first-glance overview of whether a visitor should stick around. Even links to https://perkeep.org/pkg/blobserver/#pkg-subdirectories and https://perkeep.org/pkg/importer/#pkg-subdirectories would help, but they don't cover the use cases, e.g. small laptop as a local cache. It seems Perkeep deserves to be better known and more widely used amongst programmers, but the website is probably losing a lot of them at the `top of the funnel'. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Perkeep" group.
