[OLPC-Games] Kuku Network Support

[Julius B. Lucks]

Hey Reinier,

Do you have time to discuss your networking framework that you have  
been working on?  I would like to start thinking about how to start  
weaving that into kuku.  I am cc'ing the olpcgames list so that  
others interested can benefit from our discussion.

Cheers,

Julius
