Precisely.  I'm just trying to weigh what options we have for my
(admittedly still unclear) ideas of how the system should work.  It'd be
nice if the (box-to-box, friend-to-friend, encrypted, and customized)
communication bit was already worked out, and nobody needed to invent
any wheels.

The big questions are: how do they talk?  How should they talk?  There
are a couple options out there already, and I'm nearly certain there's
no one-size-fits all solution, there are lots and lots of use-cases.

I'm also not convinced there's an existing solution that precisely fits
the project's (or at least my) ideals.  I'm looking for something like
Webfinger over a DHT based on GPG that provides both routing and
identity information.  If this sounds interesting to anybody, feel free
to ping me off list.
