Teased by our 2nd Workshop, Marco Fiscato has jumped aboard our team of developers. His expertise in peer to peer networks and his implementation of a chord based p2p layer will be of great help for prototyping p2p open-search.

This weeks Todo includes a simulator that implements the distributed-database query interface: the simulator (dubbed hatsim) allows to "replay/simulate" crawler & user activity for the P2P software and emulates a dummy p2p to be used for client development.
