ABSTRACT

Historical: The Loci (and later Piper) project was designed to be a peer-to-peer (P2P) distributed workflow system. It was an independent, GNU-based project intended to bring the power and flexibility of the GNU/UNIX command-line interface (CLI) to the graphical user interface (GUI) and Internet-distributed computing.

Networks, programs, files, widgets, and so on, could be Internet-distributed components represented in a GUI as the nodes of a flow chart. The user could join nodes via lines that depict links for data flow, procedural steps, relationships, and so forth.

This project has evolved into the Pipet project, but these pages may remain here for historical purposes.
