- Overview:

JXTA integration should provide the following functionality:

    - all Reptile nodes should bootstrap JXTA

    - all Reptile nodes should expose their database as a provider.
    
    - 
- Benefits: 

    - Would allow P2P RSS/weblog publishing so that users without a real machine
      (or political issues) can publish within the network.

    - reptile nodes could provide additional services including a distributed
      cache.

    - distribute query CPU utilization.

    - allows a distributed "hook up" where I can view your subscriptions, you
      can view mine, etc.

    - Support Jxta search so that uses can specify advanced queries and find new
      content.
