Mission

This is a project to revive and modernize the gen_leader library. Numerous versions of this project exist, developed by disparate groups with different aims. By collecting and integrating these we hope to provide a new standard-library-quality module for the Erlang runtime that provides leader-election functionality without many of the difficulties traditionally associated with such.

Which Version Should I Use?

Use the version in combined_version.

What Exactly Does It Do?

Let us get back to you on that.
