[Gzz] 11th (Benja)

[Benja Fallenstein]

Work on distributed hashtable stuff. Two implementations seem to be 
interesting to us: JXTA GISP [http://gisp.jxta.org] and Circle 
[http://thecircle.org.au]. Circle has a quite active user community. 
Neither project currently address malicious peers, but both are 
basically interested in this.

GISP needs JXTA needs Java 1.3 AFAIK; Circle is written in Python and 
doesn't currently run under Jython. That would have to be addressed 
somehow. One possibility not involving changes to Circle would be to 
write a Storm server in Python, serving data through HTTP-- this doesn't 
seem too big a task, actually. If we do this right, we could probably 
run the server through Jython as well when Circle connection isn't desired.

So we might actually get into real p2p already this year.

Could we set up a permanent Circle peer on the Jyu network (e.g. 
himalia)? I think this would be a nice contribution to the circle 
community (and it's not hard to do).
