Since I'm used to sharing 1MBit _A_DSL lines that much bandwidth looks
more than sufficient to me (we do not plan to download videos or join
several video conferences concurrently, do we?).

If I had three wishes free for a hacking event:
- partial pull (killer feature for OSS projects e.g. OpenEmbedded)
- monotone-viz on Win32 (I know well how to compile gtk+ programs for
windows, but OCaml is beyond my horizon)
- an UI for Win32 (guitone, mtsh (I have successfully compiled an exe
but it blocks on important features), or even a visual studio plugin
like http://ankhsvn.tigris.org/) - as an installer of course


What I might offer:
- finishing mtn_cvs
- bidirectional svn or git synching
- a cvs server process against a monotone database (if there's _any_
benefit)
- binarifying the sha1 sums in the database (they are stored in hex;
performance? space saving?)
- help on pretty any other feature (which I'm interested in)
