Alex is a filesystem that lets users access files in FTP sites around
the world just like they access local files.  The name Alex comes from 
the ancient Library of Alexandria. Alexandria gathered information from 
around the world into one easy to access location. Alex does an analogous 
thing in a very modern way.

Source to Alex is now available.
