Hi Chris and dev team,

I'm in the process of migrating my 0.9.4 server to 0.9.6 (got the first dev 
instance of it installed and am very excited by the improvements so far) with 
Federated Storage, and I figured that while I'm doing it I might as well 
contribute back to the cause if I can. I'd be happy to add explicit 
documentation about Federated Storage if you' like.

There's also a chance that I'll be doing AMQP integration as well, so I could 
write up documentation for that, too, if desired.

I've also got a first cut of what I've been calling graphite_agent in python. 
Features:

1) optionally daemonized, or you can run it non-daemonized out of cron if you 
want
2) uses configuration files and / or CLI options
3) loads python plugins as modules and runs them automatically (uses some code 
from Kraig Amador to do some slick function detection)
4) runs any non-python plugin via command execution

I'm pretty excited about it, mostly because this is only my 2nd or 3rd python 
program (I've been a perl programmer for most of my life) and I've been really 
tickled how quickly I've been able to write useful code. If I can get approval 
from the company I work for, I'd love to contribute it and get some pointers 
from some python experts, as I'm sure my python is pretty perlish. I think it 
would be great to create a library of plugins for this; my next steps will be 
to create replacements for all the stats that ganglia / gmond provides out of 
the box, so that I can ditch our dependency on it.

Let me know how to proceed, and thank you all for graphite. It's a great 
program.

Pete Emerson
