Hence it is on the list\nagain for this year.  :)\n\n-- \nShawn.\n"},{"id":"72861","messageId":"b6f0e9dd0803240034v4b53cc3fo9bc890fb3f60b919@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"12829","inReplyTo":"20080324072434.GN8410@spearce.org","subject":"Re: [GSoC2008]What's wrong with last years Gittorrent?","fromName":"Chiyuan Zhang","fromEmail":"pluskid@gmail.com","sentAt":"2008-03-24T07:34:32Z","receivedAt":"2008-03-24T07:34:32Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"pluskid@gmail.com","avatar":null},"body":"OK!
