Forgot to mention the following (quoted from their site).

RetroShare Instant Messenger is the next generation sharing network, which provides:

    * A private Peer to Peer (P2P) Network which allows you to share information with only the friends you want to: So actually this Instant Messenger is a Friends-to-Friends Network.
    * Retroshare Instant Messenger offers reliable Identification and Authentication of your trusted friends (RSA-Keys).
    * An Introduction Scheme to bootstrap your friends over a Distributed Hash Table (DHT), which connects you your friends and facilitates network growth by easy connecting. Friends of Friends never connect.
    * Because you connect direct and enryepted only to your trusted friends, it is a fast and safe transfer of files. No other open and serverless Instant Messenger has such enhanced Filesharing capabilities like you find here.
    * Encrypted Communication, ensuring all shared information is known only to you and your trusted friends (neighbour peers).
    * A Communication Platform which can potentially support services such as Secure Email to all of your friends, File Sharing, Video or Voice over IP and of course Instant Messaging.
    * Roundabout, it is a decentralised (serverless), open source, social Sharing Network designed *for Friends* with no dependancies on any corporate system or central servers.

I checked to see if I could package it, but it needs a cleaner/proper "tar.gz" package. It doesn't really follow distribution "standards".
