The Meshboard activity is a way to share requests for and offers of content, services, or anything else. It currently uses an xml-rpc server as part of the activity, to work on all sorts of networks; but is being updated to use the mesh and presence service.

Message passing
- Haskell implementation?
- Optimizing for space and reliability: Sharing catalogs and availability
- Draft desired API
- Implement current meshboard with Tubes
Notes
API: ? FUNC: store 10k of a 1m file for the community
on State
State: M_ij - connected? dropped? new? --> store trafic/cache state, draw pretty pictures
Move guys around Create and query objects [KNOBS?]
algorithm
Resource::Ad/Music/Pix/SW Add:: Post/Make-available
(1) Add: Store locally Create handle ==> UID [hash?], summary [thumb, precis, author+date] summary lets them do local search without having the whole thing Each peer asks for others' handles and with some probability the actual resource probability depends on size, popularity, space, other; compare Time To Leave Q: poll v. push? recipient has final say, including cache & expiry (2) Retrieve: Compute query for all peers, send query (peer remembers Q). [if local, maybe punt, else search for more] for all new associations, send Q [timeot?[] at some point, Q --> H or R [done] given H, for all peers, send H [store if found]
open questions
- how to order reqs for pieces -- first part of a web page first?
- how to retrieve/split up a large file into many pieces? lockss, filenets.
