[Duplicity-talk] How to contribute a new backend

[Ken Bass]

Can someone provide me a few details on how I would contribute a new 
backend.

I've been using it for a few months now (however I have experienced some 
odd issues which I think is duplicity related and not specifically 
related to the backend).

1) Is there any  interest? The service is at www.idrive.com and called 
IDrive. There is a 5GB free version which can be used to test things 
out. I am now using the 150GB @ $49.50/year version.
The reason I used this service over others is that they provide a 
documented API unlike many other services.

2) I have no affiliation, though there is a referral program I was 
thinking about doing. If I provided whatever unique link that gives me 
referral credit in the documentation would that be okay? Of course 
anyone would be free to signup
however they wish.

3) I know you use bazaar but am not sure the proper workflow. Do I 
register my own branch via the launchpad site and use that?

4) Are there many people on this list that would test new features like 
this?
