Paper Airplane is a Mozilla plugin that empowers people to easily create
collaborative communities, known as Paper Airplane Groups, without setting
up servers or spending money. It does this by integrating a web server into
the browser itself, including tools to create collaborative online
communities that are stored on the machine. Paper Airplane Groups are stored
locally on a user's machine. A peer-to-peer network is created between all
of the Paper Airplane nodes that are running in order to resolve group
names, reach normally unreachable peers due to firewalls or NAT devices, and
to replicate content.

Parts of Paper Airplane have been modularized into the P2P Sockets project,
a reimplementation of standard Java sockets on top of Jxta and ports of
standard web servers, servlet engines, etc. to run on top of a peer-to-peer
network. P2P Sockets is at a 1.0 beta level, while Paper Airplane
development is just beginning. Paper Airplane code will be posted to this
site as it is developed.
