<h1> skabus </h1>
<h2> What is it ? </h2>
<p>
skabus is a suite of programs and libraries for Unix systems
that aim to implement a bus, i.e. a many-to-many interprocess
communication mechanism.
</p>
<p>
It is very much a work in progress, and won't be complete for a long time.
For now, it looks like a random collection of tools, even though there is
a consistent vision behind them.
</p>
