/** \mainpage Collaborative Data Sharing in Trinity Applications

The \b TDENewStuff2 library adds data sharing capabilities to %Trinity
applications.  Technically, it implements the
<a href="http://ghns.freedesktop.org/">GHNS</a> and
DXS specifications. The library consists of three parts: the data management core
and GHNS protocol implementation, the DXS web service handler, and the user interface
classes like dialogs and buttons.

Application authors should not use all of the classes directly, which are installed
only for the purpose of implementing functionality on top of \b TDENewStuff2; instead,
the high-level KNS::Engine class provides everything an application needs.
Both upload and download scenarios are handled by the engine. There are only two
preparation steps necessary before this class can be used: the setup of a GHNS repository,
and the creation of a <b>*.knsrc</b> file which will determine all aspects of the
application's \b TDENewStuff2 usage.

All of the related information such as <b>*.knsrc</b> files, repositories and security
can be found in the <a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/K_Hot_New_Stuff2">TDENewStuff2 tutorial</a>.
