Matthew Alton <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Other License: 
Package: GNU Message Queueing System
System name: gnu-queue
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

My project will produce a Free Software replacement for the IBM MQ Series 
software as it exists for POSIX-compliant systems.  The software will provide 
guaranteed delivery of \"messages\" consisting of bitstreams of arbitrary 
length and metadata.  The software will consist of a set of server programs 
which will implement the core message queueing functionality, a set of 
administrative programs, and a library of subroutines constituting an 
application programming interface.  The server-related programs and API will be 
coded in GNU C in compliance with the GNU Coding Standards.  All software 
components will be thoroughly documented in compliance with GNU documentation 
standards and conventions. 

The project is currently in an advanced planning phase.  An early version of 
the project which relied on multiple processes to achieve concurrency was 
partially coded and then abandoned in favor of a multithreaded model.

MQ\") please visit http://www-3.ibm.com/software/ts/mqseries/messaging.
