Excellent, well that was going to be the next question - who would be the mentor, and what would they do? I guess I could re-work this RFP to be a proposal to complete it; http://utsl.gen.nz/git/gittorrent-rfp.txt So far, the first two milestones on the plan are basically nailed, so that's something of a head start. The test script fires up two nodes that connect to each other, sends a choke message and then shuts down. I'm quite happy with the stack being used (Moose - which is CLOS for Perl, and Coro - coroutines, similar to stackless python). How about I brush that up and we can take this discussion off-list. Sam.
