Andreas Rottmann <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: DistWork
System name: distwork
Type: GNU

Description:
DistWork will be a peer-to-peer network for load distribution. It meant to be a 
generalization of the concept behind distcc (http://distcc.samba.org/). In 
contrast to distcc, however, DistWork will provide a generic distribition 
framework for compilation and compilation-like tasks (e.g. raytracing and ogg 
file compression).

The DistWork architecture consists of nodes and clients. The nodes form a P2P 
network. Each node is capable of running a set of services. A client 
application connects to a node (most probably to the local node running on the 
same host) and requests a specific service. This node then selects a node 
(might be itself) to run that service and forwards the input/output data from 
the client to the servicing node.

DistWork will use GNU serveez for the node functionality.

DistWork is not yet released, but I\'m working on it.
