Development

Please come and join in on BitHorde Development. There are several areas of contribution;

Advocating

Setup and run your bithorde, and help friends join. The more bithorde networks, the bigger the project will become.

Documentation

Help documenting code, write howtos...

Release-engineering

Help defining targets for coming releases, packaging and testing releases...

Core Development
Help hack on the BitHorde core;

Examples:

  • Port to other platforms
  • Write a daemon-admin web-gui
  • Improve performance
  • Fix bugs
  • Implement abuse-countermeasures (automatically track friend-behaviours and prioritize requests based on observed behaviour.)

Ecosystem Developer

While the BitHorde core itself is intended to remain relatively small and focused, a key success factor for BitHorde is building an ecosystem of integrated clients and working usable appliances.

Examples:

  • Develop proxy-systems; I.E. portals linking useful content from other sites to establish BitHorde.
  • Integrate into other clients
    • Curl
    • Bittorrent Client (I.E. deluge)
    • gift
  • Apache-module for using BitHorde as backend-distribution in distributed hosting
