+ShareGuard is a system to facilitate the limited sharing of files.
+
+ShareGuard maintains an authentication and authorization database,
+in which users can be granted access to "stashes".  From this
+database it handles web authentication and authorization, directory
+maintenance, and other logic.
+
+Users are global to the database, and can be authorized to any
+number of stashes.
+
+At present, the web frontend (stashbox) is written in Python
+and the other components are written in Haskell.
+
+It is unusual in that users do not need to manipulate .htaccess
+and htpasswd files to control access to the files they wish to
+share over the web.
