+
+- catch up on loads of mail accumulated while I was away
+- especially LOTS of mails on P2P RG list
+- write intro to P2P RG list
+- make Storm README more current about pointers
+- answer private question about Storm ("I can't see anything
+  on the GNU [Savannah] page" :-) )
+- read Asko's mindmap notes and think about them
+- write PEG about Canvas2D vocab which fails to
+  do transclusions, so far
+
+2003-06-30 and 2003-07-01: nothing

+
+- read more about P2P research group, join list
+- think about building a virtual file system on top
+  of Storm, so that users can give file names to
+  individual pointers. the files would be accessed
+  through WebDAV. maybe we should do this, to make
+  Storm useful without any deep interface changes...
+  not sure.
+- read about Subversion as it also uses WebDAV
+  and a file system structure. we could do the
+  above idea (virtual file system) so that
+  Storm can be used as a CVS replacement, with
+  Subversion as the frontend.
+- realize that since XSLT is a stable, implemented
+  specification for transforming files, we could use
+  it in Storm. the idea is that web pages with
+  navbars and layout etc. wouldn't be stored like that
+  in Storm; instead, we'd store the bare data, and
+  use an XSLT stylesheet to transform it into the
+  intended layout. we can implement this on the
+  gateway, so we don't need to rely on XSLT
+  capability in the browser. the big point is that
+  XSLT can import XML data from URIs, so we can
+  gather the necessary information from multiple
+  Storm blocks and process it together.
+- note that XSLT 2.0 can also load data from
+  a URI that resolves to a plain-text file;
+  could use this in an XSLT stylesheet that
+  expands Xanalogical text from blocks, if desired...
+- allow loading a pointer in emacs by entering
+  the pointer name, with tab completion (needed
+  to learn quite a bit of elisp for that)
+- read about NAT traversal; rfc3489 (STUN - Simple 
+  traversal of UDP through NATs) is really important,
+  and the `midcom WG`__ is also otherwise relevant.
+
+  __ http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/midcom-charter.html
+- Look for CFPs related to our work. Here's a good one:
+  <http://www.usenix.org/events/fast04/cfp/>, for FAST'04,
+  the "3rd USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies",
+  with "peer-to-peer systems" and "novel storage architectures 
+  and technologies" listed as topics of interest.
+  Firm deadline is October 7th (12 Noon PDT).
+- Some less relevant events about networking in general
+  are <http://www.acm.org/sigcomm/HotNets-II/>;
+  <http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/icdcs04/>;
+  <http://www.cs.tcd.ie/publications/tech-reports/wisict04/wisict04.html>;
+  <http://www.percom.org/>; <http://conf.uha.fr/CfPICN04.html>
+- A conference about public-key cryptosystems, if we can
+  say anything interesting about Storm pointers by Sept. 20:
+  <http://pkc2004.lit.org.sg/Call_for_papers.html>
+- As for journals, there's the ACM Transactions on Internet
+  Technology for Storm/Alph stuff 
+  (http://www.acm.org/pubs/periodicals/toit/) and the
+  ACM Transactions on Information Systems for general
+  Fenfire stuff (http://www.acm.org/tois/).
+- Learn about RuleML
+- write to rdf-interest about canonical RDF syntax
+

 - think about FenPDF/Loom integration
