From rigserve

• About Rigserve: This is the place to find out what we're here for, to see our FAQ, and to post your questions.
• Project Status: See what's available now. Version 0.31 was released 4/30/2008.
• Downloads: How we distribute Rigserve, how to get it.
• Get Involved!: Rigserve wants a few good people!
• The Rigserve Class Library: The Class Library is the central piece of this project. Even though we started with the idea of doing rig control via TCP/IP server protocols (and doing them in modern, easy to manage Python), it is becoming clearer that the Class Library is where most of the "value" will lie. The server part is relatively small and simple. Furthermore, many different server strategies can be built around the same Class Library.
• Current server strategies: Various servers can be built around the Class Library. The default is a Telnet-style ASCII command server.
