I suppose a good start would be to agree on some reference sources on P2P,
for example:

* Wikipedia has an excellent P2P tutorial section with well known references

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer

* The openDHT publications

http://opendht.org/pubs.html

Just these two sources would be a good start, though folks on the list may
well have additional sources to suggest.

What this discussions proves however is that instead every I-D in the P2PSIP
WG having its own glossary, the WG should better invite someone to write a
glossary paper on its own that can be discussed and agreed on. This was not
in the charter, but may be a good option, given the work involved.

Another option is for the terminology paper by Dean Willis et al. to be
updated with an updated and comprehensive glossary for P2P.

What do you think?
