+% The Globster Direct Connect Client
+
+<b style="color: #f00">Project Abandoned</b><br>
+I've stopped development on Globster. I still believe the overall idea and
+architecture of Globster are good, and the DC community would definitely
+benefit from a remotely controllable client, but Globster in its current form
+wasn't going into the direction I wanted it to. I might restart the project
+from scratch (yet again) in the future, but for now... it's as dead as a cute
+zombie whale.

+Globster is an efficient file sharing client for the Direct Connect<br>
+network. It runs as a background daemon and provides<br>
+a convenient and high-level D-Bus API, making<br>
+it easy to write scripts, bots and user<br>
+interfaces for Direct Connect.

+# Adopt your own Globster
+
+## Download
+
+There are no tarballs at the moment. You'll have to get it from the git repo:
+
+    git clone --recursive git://g.blicky.net/globster.git
+    cd globster
+    autoreconf -i
+    ./configure
+    make
+    sudo make install
+
+When doing a `git pull` to update your version later on, make sure to follow
+up with a `git submodule update` to get the right dependencies, too.
+
+The git repo is available for
+[online browsing](https://g.blicky.net/globster.git/).
+
+## Requirements
+
+Globster can be compiled with a (moderately recent) GCC or clang. You'll need
+the following libraries: [libdbus](http://dbus.freedesktop.org/),
+[GnuTLS](http://gnutls.org) and [zlib](http://zlib.net/). If your GnuTLS is too
+old (<= 2.12), you also need libgcrypt. The globsterctl script requires Perl
+and the Net::DBus module.
+
+On Debian and Ubuntu, that boils down to the following:
+
+    apt-get install git make gcc libc-dev automake autoconf\
+      pkg-config libdbus-1-dev libgnutls-dev libnet-dbus-perl
+
+And for Arch Linux:
+
+    pacman -S base-devel git perl-net-dbus
+
+I've only tested things on Linux (glibc and [musl](http://www.musl-libc.org)),
+but I intent to support more kinda-sane POSIX systems in the future as well.
+Globster will no doubt require some more libraries as more basic features are
+being implemented. And, yes, _of course_ we will get static binaries!
+
+## Status
+
+Remember when I called Globster a "file sharing" client? I lied. It doesn't
+share or download files yet, since it's currently in an early alpha stage. So
+what _does_ it do?
+
+- Connect to ADC and NMDC hubs
+- User list management
+- Chatting and private messaging
+
+Those features already make it perfectly suitable for writing chat-only bots
+and interfaces.
+
+## Usage
+
+Globster isn't particularly hard to use, but usage documentation is currently a
+bit lacking. I have every intention to fix that, but for now, you're encouraged
+to join the development hub and bug me for help: `adc://dc.blicky.net:2780/`.
+I did already write some [API documentation](/globster/api).
+
+There are at this point not many scripts or interfaces available for Globster:
+
+- [globsterctl](/globster/ctl) - A control script for the daemon, included in the git repo.
+- [globster-feedspam.pl](http://p.blicky.net/0z9uw) - An RSS / Atom notification script.
+- [globster-mhc.pl](http://p.blicky.net/8y8mv) - A hub chat link script. More useful as an example than anything else.
+- [globgraph](http://p.blicky.net/qvg59) - Munin plugin to monitor Direct Connect hubs.
+
+There's more to come. I'd love to have at least a convenient console client (a
+weechat or irssi plugin? An ncdc fork?) and perhaps a web-based interface. But
+other stuff is welcome, too. Who's going to write all that, you ask? Erm...
+well... You, perhaps? :-)
+
+## Final notes
+
+As you've come to expect from me _(right?)_, Globster is entirely written in C
+and available under a liberal MIT license.
+
+Globster incorporates code from
+[libev](http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/libev.html),
+[freetiger](http://klondike.es/freetiger/),
+[klib](https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib) and
+[ylib](https://dev.yorhel.nl/ylib).
+Additionally, [autoconf-lean](https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/autoconf-lean) is
+used to keep the configure script fast.
