Identities, Rankings, Tags, and Network Monitoring.

Hello folks,

I'm interested in each of these bounties:

User Identities:
https://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/CORE-28

Tags:
https://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/CORE-313

Ranks:
https://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/CORE-26

Network Monitoring (and Ostracism):
https://www.limewire.org/jira/browse/CORE-30


In my opinion, these features are all challenging to do correctly.
This challenge is even greater due to open compatibility with servents
which do not implement these features.  Also they are inter-related,
such that the developers of each feature need to correspond closely.

Anyway, I've begun drafting design proposals for each system.  I'm
interested in designing, implementing, and/or reviewing each feature.
>From the message boards it seems like some have been undertaken (such
as identities), but I'm not sure about their specific progress.

Also, I've read most of the gnutella 0.4 rfc spec, and I plan to read
the Limewire design doc.  However, is there a Limewire-specific
protocol spec?

My background includes experience with several related decentralized
secure/privacy-preserving storage networks (MojoNation, mnet,
allmydata.org's Tahoe).  My academic study covered many aspects of
security, identity, and trust for decentralized systems, so I'm
excited to find bounties which are such a perfect fit.

Regards,
Nathan Wilcox

ps:  Is the main discussion list a better forum for this?
