Comment(by daf):

 In terms of transfer, the requirements to me seem to be pretty similar to
 general file transfer. The way I see it, the hard problem here is
 advertising. I don't think it's scalable for every child to constantly
 advertise all the objects they have all the time. If it was just "child
 periodically asks friends which objects they have" or "child asks a few
 random people on the network which objects they have", it would be much
 more tenable (smaller number of people involved, request-based instead of
 advertisement-based). Especially as I suspect it can be largely
 implemented in terms of tubes + file transfers, which we already have some
 support for. (No file transfer implementation in Gabble currently.)

 So, which objects does the shell most want to show?
