Jonathan, right now the focus is on getting Master-Slave replication up. That is, run a cluster of distributed machines with the same graph and master failover. After that, sharding is one of the areas where it would be VERY interesting to start experimenting with different approaches both from the Insert-time-sharding (upfront-sharding of your domain much like in document- key/value and other approaches) and the runtime sharding (the redistribution of data to better reflect runtime characteristics of e.g. traversals etc).
To start with, a simple application that uses different neo4j instances to hold different parts of a domain would be a great contribution in order to show and explore "domain space" sharding. Do you have any special thoughts on good approaches?
