Fancy idea. I have only looked at it *very* superfically so far -
basically only at your description - but you might want to look
at/exchange ideas/meet/join forces with:

- Buddycloud
http://easterhegg2011.hamburg.ccc.de/fahrplan/events/4369.de.html
http://buddycloud.com/

- Protonet
http://easterhegg2011.hamburg.ccc.de/fahrplan/events/4378.de.html
http://protonet.info/

(I saw convincing talks by both teams at Easterhegg this year. The
descriptions there might give you a good idea about both projects)

Good Luck!

P.S. Is there a mailing list or a good wiki for "hacks" like that? If
not, why not? I've posted this already, but I'm trying to collect such
things at http://www.internet4.org/ and would love to see participants
from here to add pages/info there. (no reg required)
