The challenge was to build a web application from scratch using Ruby On Rails, within 48 hours.

Read ArticleAs geeks, we've been using P2P software for years. Starting with Napster in 1999, and the plethora of different filesharing networks that followed, right up to torrents, which we all use and love today, we've seen the technology being used for a number of worthwhile causes. Thus, when Sean came to us with his plan to put it to use in the real world, we jumped at the chance.
