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.
