Package: Colander Internet Agent
System name: colander
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Colander is a Java application which acts as a scripted personal Internet 
agent.  That is to say, it interacts with a resource on the Internet and 
generates results or summaries in a standard format which can then be processed 
in several ways.  The motivation behind this project was a long standing desire 
to automate various tasks that tend to be performed every day.

Ideally, it should be able to handle any resource or initiate any action 
through the use of plugins.  The standard distribution will be limited to a 
common subset such as XML, RDF/RSS, HTML and the like.  User\'s will be 
encouraged to develop and exchange their own plugins.

Access should be possible through a standard web browser, with Java support 
required for some operations.  Minimal access requirements are desirable.
