Programmers for Internet Software Project Wanted

Programmers wanting to participate in a software project for the Amiga are

The project's focus is to program a shared library to make developing of
Internet programs easier for less experienced programmers.
Many of us know the problem: One would like to load a file from the Internet via
FTP or HTTP protocol with his own program, but doesn't know the respective
procedure or addressing bsdsocket.library is too complicated cause you don't know
the commands needed. In such cases diverse source codes from Aminet or Linux sources
offer only limited help.
The library (maybe by the name of ftp.library ?) would do all this work for the
programmer. For example it should be easy to access files on FTP servers by
"FTP_Directory", "FTP_Open", "FTP_Read", "FTP_Write", and "FTP_Close"
(function names are possible examples). Similar should be possible for
HTTP or other protocols (e.g. e-mail communication).
The library is meant to become freeware to make it available for any program
developer. Anybody conversant with the use of BSD socket commands and
Internet protocols wanting to participate in this project is called to
contact me via e-mail
