Politics of Piracy Project Proposal
I will be creating a new Wiki page for the Dtella distributed DC++ peer to peer file sharing network. I will go into details of how it works, its construction, origins and its offshoot projects. A part of my article will also focus on the reason it was created, mainly to share files whilst not being hindered by campus bandwidth limitations. I originally thought the Dtella project had originated in Berkeley but found that the project started at Purdue and that the Berkeley version was a fork of the original. The Purdue Dtella site contains a lot of information on the structure of Dtella and its predecessor DCGate. My current sources include the Dtella websites for Purdue and UCB as well as the project’s code documentation. I am also able to contact the community via IRC as well as email the person in charge of maintaining the code to see if I can get some more history on its origins. The Purdue Dtella site also has its own media wiki based on keeping track and providing support for the project, however there is no main Wikipedia entry for it. I have started a draft version here:"Dtella Draft" — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkDavidoff UCB (talk • contribs) 16:47, March 5, 2013
 * There appears to already be a DC++ article. I suggest you add to the existing article. What is Dtella? How is it related to DC++? --Geniac (talk) 04:12, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
