Isn't node failure core to the problem of partitioning because your
partitioning of data will have to change as the cluster membership is
changing, and data is going to have to migrate - right?
Anyway, I'll take a look at your Wiki and see if I can contribute in
some way. Thanks!

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. I'll find a place on the wiki to
document my thoughts as well as the opinions of others expressed
previously on the mailing list.
Just for example, a discussion of your hashing mechanism would be
great, and
how you handle repartitioning on node failure, etc.
Initially I'm just concentrating on partitioning the data. Gracefully
handling node failures will be a step after that and I haven't put a
lot of effort into that piece yet. Any ideas are welcome, and I know
there are some threads that at least touched on that topic before.
