Sowarna - Distributed Photo Storage System

[Wiki needs more information]

Sowarna is a distributed photo storage system that intends to replace any desktop photo organization software by a distributed server/client photo storage system. The system should be super fast and highly scalable over multiple storage nodes in several locations with redundancy and high availability features.

the project is going to be written in python with the probability of having some parts written in ‘C’ for maximum performance and efficiency.

we're intending to make it a Cross-Platform project so we can use it either on *nix or Windows systems.
