[needs-packaging] Tribler

[Warbo]

Tribler is a mix between peer2peer sharing and social networking. It's site is here: https://www.tribler.org/ It is mainly Python but mixes a lot of things together, the readme files stating that most is under the MIT license, but it does connect to YouTube as one of its services, so I'm not sure what legalities would be involved with distributing it. All in all though, it is a very promising project for using "Web 2.0" on the desktop rather than the web.

There is an Ubuntu package available on their download page here https://www.tribler.org/Download and a repository detailed here https://www.tribler.org/faq#DoyousupportLinux

Their repository is for gutsy. They say it should work for hardy (since it is python I guess that is likely), but it would be much nicer to have it in a proper universe package.

So... they have made ubuntu packages before. Their project is present on launchpad (http://launchpad.net/tribler). This means they are likely very cooperative if contacted by a MOTU for packaging.
