Recsync is now being maintained by Dylan Maxwell.

https://github.com/ChannelFinder/recsync

Recsync is intended to maintain a authoritative central database of all
records provided by all IOCs.  In order to be authoritative, each IOC
maintains a persistent TCP connection to a central server.  This gives
some feature overlap with aliveRecord*.

Zero configuration is a goal.  No per-IOC config is required.  Just link
in the reccaster support module.  There is an optional .db which
provides connection status.

While intended to be used with channelfinder, it is not tightly coupled,
and could be used with other databases.

* In my ideal super efficient world, aliveRecord would use the recsync
protocol.
