+Planetlab GNUnet Monitoring and Controlling Framework
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Vision:
+
+Run GNUnet on a large number of planetlab peers and monitor their 
+performance and statistics. We want to have a centralized control center 
+where we can see the current state of all nodes and can remote control them
+
+Realization:
+
+Deploy GNUnet automatically on a large number of nodes and use the 
+buildbot software to controll and monitor them. The developer can use 
+the buildbot master to trigger an update of the GNUnet software on the 
+nodes. The developer can see if a step failed on a node and why.
+
+Overview over required steps:
+
+Short term steps:
+
+- Figure out how to install GNUNet on a planetlab node
+   - DONE
+- Create scripts to automatically do that
+   - DONE
+- Create a script to setup a new planetlab node
+  This script must
+  - Install subversion
+  - Checkout the installation scripts
+  - Install all dependencies
+  - Setup buildslave software
+  - Start buildslave software
+
+- Install buildmaster to control the nodes on our server
+- Modify configuration to execute the scripts
+- Install buildslave on all nodes to contact the master server
+
+Mid term steps:
+
+- Modify buildbot master software to improve node monitoring
+
+Side tasks:
+
+Write documentation for 
+
+- GNUnet installation on a planetlab node
+- Installing buildslave on a planetlab node
