Is this the filesystem project you were talking about earlier, or a different one? Because if it's the filesystem thing, count me in right away to help if you want it... I've been really wanting to help design/code a next-gen filesystem/data organization scheme lately (for some odd reason), and this sounds like it :-D

Well, sort of. The thing I'm working on right now will be used in it, when I actually get around to writing it. :) I probably won't start working on it till after the messaging thing is at least in beta.

This is basically a "messaging" toolkit in Python (deneb:/cvs/message) which can be used for intra-process messaging, or inter-process/machine messaging. The intra-process stuff has been mostly done for a while, and now I'm working on the bit that does remote messages. I'm trying to write it in such a way as to be flexible; i.e. you could write a plugin for SOAP, or XML-RPC, or GPG-encrypted fu, or whatever. (Well, it wouldn't exactly be SOAP or XML-RPC, because you'd have to write an RPC layer on top of it, but that shouldn't be too hard.)

I should probably spend some time (maybe today at work, depending on how busy we are) writing this up so it's more easily understandable than my ramblings here.

I should also get some sort of (really short) requirements document written on the filesystem/object database thing.

And dammit, I forgot to use the right icon for this entry. Have to fix that.

What *are* you talking about, you silly silly man?

See above comment. :)
