that's quite in scope if we'd like to touch on something more
system-level than our usual UX fare: there is a serious hole in
reasonably self-contained distributed cron-like schedulers in the open
source world, and I can see a number of valuable uses for one in Tool
Labs (and probably some spots in prod!).
I've had that idea at the back of my mind for some time, and I was
planning on starting it myself but for the lack of actual free time.
This is a very well delineated project of sufficiently modest scope that
a small team of students may well be able to tackle succesfully in that
kind of timeframe, and it's sufficiently generally useful that it makes
for a worthwhile open source project.
Thoughts? Is it worth suggesting and putting forward?

Looks very good.
