Hi all, 

A new mailing list has been established for Internet Storage Sync (ISS) work. We've made a relevant presentation about this work in Prague (in appsawg session). We will start related discussions (e.g. problems, scope of work and etc.) on it soon and any interested people are more than welcome to subscribe it. Following please find the list address and detailed purpose of the mailing list.

Regards,

A new IETF non-working group email list has been created.

List address: [email-masked]
Archive: https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/search/?email_list=storagesync
To subscribe: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/storagesync

Purpose:

Network-based storage services, such as cloud storage, attract huge numbers of users and produce a significant share of Internet traffic. But most existing network storage services make use of proprietary sync protocols to achieve data synchronization. Almost all of them have proved not to be efficient enough and should be improved. This mailing list is for discussion of problems caused by inefficient proprietary sync protocols and of alternatives that can be more efficient and standardized.

For additional information, please contact the list administrators.
