small outsource project: change host for gnuTellaVision

[Michael Douma]

This is about a small subcontracting project. This is an interesting
project which produces interactive graphs of the gnutella network. We
are updating a python project written by students at Berkeley a few
years ago. This project is to switch from an out-dated data host to a
new one.

The following is a link to the source code for a python project which
makes radial maps of gnutella hosts:

http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/%7Erachna/courses/infoviz/gtv/source.html

The code theoretically works, and the maps look like this:

http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~ping/gtv/

But the current code uses gnutellahosts.com. That host is not longer
active. The project is to make this code work again by using a new host
cache. Tasks:

1) Review the code to see the type of data the script requires.

2) Change the host from "gnutellahosts.com" to something else. See:

NOTE: There is an alternative version of this project which you can
propose. You can propose bid to instead remove ALL gnutella-related
code, and generate a simple random node structure. We are more
interested in the animation and layout code than the gnutella code.
