Cees, very cool idea.
I'm interested in something a bit more modest - using your p2p network to broadcast Monticello notifications. By "notifications", I just mean that after posting a .mcz file to a repository, the Monticello instance would send out the URL for that file out to all the nodes.
I think you should be more general and go for my idea I posted about way back about "developer events". So we define a few different "developer event types" that people can emit, and you of course decide yourself which event types you want to emit.
And you also define what kind of events you want to subscribe to - this Monticello release event type being one kind.
Such a system will open up endless cool things. Like "someone modified my class" event, or "someone just installed my package from SM" event, etc. Then we can start modifying our tools with visual real time feedback etc.
