Looking for programing partners

Yo,

I am trying to find some programming partners to help make decisions
and implement an augmented IP tunnel in userspace which also uses some
kernel space facilities (cryptoapi). I need some assistance nailing
down enough information for a website of project as well.

This program, similar to how openvpn and vtun uses Universal TUN/TAP
devices, is an attempt to make a cached and compressed IP tunnel by
modifying streams of packet data, specifically streams of understood
protocols like CIFS/NFS/SMB/HTTP and of course SMTP. The plan is to
replace large data segments of individual transfer streams with a
digest of the data, and store the data block on a local filesystem for
the destination to retrieve later. Once the destination recieves a
"cache" packet containing the original packet headers and a reference
to the data block by digest it will attempt to find a locally stored
copy of the digest, retrieve from the remote side and store locally.
Cache data should be expired based on either a hard disk quota or
other cache maintainer algorithms similar to Squid. Cached data should
also be stored and encrypted based on a randomly negotiated pre shared
key if desired.

Won't this be slow? Not really, SHA1 and SHA256 are fast, and
commonly used by hardware compression boards.

This concept is also known as WanFS to many commercial companies. I
want to make it open to the world to use.

Lemme know if interested, Python and C.
