[Announcement] Peerkat: Collaborative Aggregation

["Rael Dornfest" <rael@oreilly.com>]

Howdy,

Beginning back in November 2000, I devoted a smidge of my copious free time
to learning Python via a project I called Peerkat, a P2P version of Meerkat,
the O'Reilly Network's Open Wire Service[1].

About 95% to completion, work stalled around January due to lack of
bandwidth :-\

Thanks to some prodding following my blog'd mention[2] of the project, I
found a few moments to put in another 4% and am glad to finally announce
Peerkat's Open Source availability.

Peerkat lives at:

Screenshots are available at:

Note that this is indeed a work in progress and a first attempt at a
semi-decent sized Python project.  Constructive criticism and, even more
than that, patches ;-) are more than welcomed.

Enjoy!

Rael
