==== Description: ====
Woodchuck is a scheduler for network transmissions.  Applications register
pending network transmissions with the Woodchuck server.  When Woodchuck
detects good conditions, e.g., power and WiFi availability, it may start the
application and send it upcalls indicating that it should now execute some
network transfer.

Re: My project runs primarily on a completely free OS
==================================================

Currently Woodchuck run primarily on Maemo, which is not completely free. 
However, good support is provided for Debian GNU/Linux when using Network
Manager.  Full support for Debian GNU/Linux-based systems is planned.

Dependencies
============

Either Network Manager or Maemo's ICD2 is required, not both.  Although ICD2
is a dependency, it is only used via IPC mechanism.  Moreover, I think ICD2
can be considered an essential system component consistent with
