<h2>Intro</h2>
Quartermaster, or Q for short, is a distributed file storage framework for I2P.
<h2>Features</h2>
<ul>
<li>Now features 'QSites' - the Q equivalent of Freenet freesites,
static websites which are retrievable even if author is offline</li>
<li>Easy web interface - interact with Q (and view/insert QSites)
from your web browser</li>
<li>Maximum expectations of content retrievability</li>
<li>Content security akin to Freenet CHK and SSK keys</li>
<li>Powerful, flexible search engine</li>
<li>Comfortably accommodates both permanent and transient
nodes without significant network disruption (for instance,
no flooding of the I2P network with futile
calls to offline nodes)</li>
<li>Rapid query resolution, due to distributed catalogue
mirroring which eliminates all in-network query traffic</li>
<li>Modular, extensible architecture</li>
<li>Simple interfaces for 3rd-party app developers</li>
<li>Is custom-designed and built around I2P, so no duplication of
I2P's encryption/anonymity features</li>
<li>Simple XML-RPC interface for all inter-node communication, makes it easy to
implement user-level clients in any language; also allows alternative
implementations of core server and/or client nodes.</li>
</ul>
