What is edonkey is all about ?

[Ashok Kumar Srinivas]

Can this application be helpful to software configuration management system in any way ?

Is there any integration between Atlassian tools and e-donkey done and used ?

You mean the old peer-to-peer file sharing system that's not used much any more?

[Ashok Kumar Srinivas]

I've no idea about it Nic. Please brief me its applications. I work on Software configuration management domain, let me know if this tool can be of help to integrate or use with Atlassian tools .

If you don't even know what it is, then you're asking the wrong people.  Why have you picked out an apparently random piece of software and asked a question about it?

What are you actually trying to achieve?

[Ashok Kumar Srinivas]

My boss e-mailed me about edonkey. He is under the impression that it is a new application or tool appears to be picking up some interesting things. He talked about decentralized part, and mostly server based, peer-to-peer file sharing network best suited to share big files among user, and to provide long term availability of files. So he wanted to check with us if this can be a help to us ( I mean in the area of software configuration & continuous integration).

Ok, so you need to go back to your boss for more detail.  The only edonkey I can find is an old file sharing system (I was using it last millenium!), so you probably need to ask him to confirm what he's found and question the need for file availability and what problems he's expecting to solve with it.

OK. I will do it. Thank you NIc.
