| 6 | .LP |
|---|
| 7 | The "Get Hot New Stuff" framework (GHNS) allows desktop users to exchange data |
|---|
| 8 | creatively with other users. As opposed to peer-to-peer networks, GHNS |
|---|
| 9 | relies on central servers for the upload of data, which guarantees a certain |
|---|
| 10 | quality of the submissions. Downloads can be mirrored to as many servers as |
|---|
| 11 | needed. Users can still interact directly with the submissions via the |
|---|
| 12 | Desktop eXchange Service (DXS), in order to add translations to the |
|---|
| 13 | submissions, add comments, request removals and so forth. |
|---|
| 14 | .LP |
|---|
| 15 | GHNS repositories are almost always administered by application authors who |
|---|
| 16 | want to provide additional data to their users. |
|---|
| 17 | .LP |
|---|
| 18 | An implementation for the server side is the \fBHotstuff\fR suite of scripts |
|---|
| 19 | which handles GHNS uploads and downloads and also includes DXS access. |
|---|
| 20 | An implementation for the client side is the \fBKNewStuff\fR library which |
|---|
| 21 | is part of KDE 4. There is also \fBSDLNewStuff\fR for applications building |
|---|
| 22 | on the PyGame library. |
