Hi,
You can try to put some other information on the data load, i.e., a 
timestamp for versioning the
elements of your list, and of course, modify the primitives of the DHT.
When a newer content is inserted, at the application level its reference 
is inserted into a list, which is
the *value* of the key, and then the whole object is republished.
