[OAM-talk] a dramatically simplified technical proposal

[Schuyler Erle]

Hello, friends. In response to feedback both on and off list, I have
rewritten the previous draft technical proposal into a much, much
simpler implementation plan that reduces the initial complexity of the
storage network, and describes the primary use cases:

I hope that this new proposal highlights the importance of the layer
catalog.

I have moved all of the lovely-but-possibly impractical P2P stuff here:

Please, please, please have a look at the new technical proposal draft
and send comments to the list (or just edit the wiki page).

I will be attending Random Hacks of Kindness in Mountain View on Friday,
and I would really like to help coordinate interested developers in
hashing out the first cut of the catalog server and the cache node
configuration. Please feel free to contact me if you'll be there and
interested in getting involved.

Thanks!
