Michel Rasschaert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: Some of the project files may be under another license, documentation 
mainly which will be under the GNU FDL.
Package: Bothans
System name: bothans
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This project will be a monitoring system in the spirit of Nagios (http://nagios.org/) 
but It will focus on :
- Ease of installation (especially adding new monitored systems should be near 
plug\\\'n play).
- Multi-user capabilities (so a group of user could administrate some machines and 
view the status of others but not all)
- Distributable : It will be possible to have multiple servers who will auto-organise 
themselves
- Will use XML : for the buzzword effect ;) and for extensibility of the protocol too.
- Multi platform : will run on GNU/Linux but also on Windows, *BSD and several 
Proprietary Unixes (HP-UX and AIX mainly)

Current state (not functional) : http://ngmtsrv1.neocles.com/~freeman/bothans.tar.gz

being uploaded on savannah.
