+README
+
+this is the repository for fail2ban-p2p. Fail2ban-p2p is a standalone
+application written in python that will exchange IPs of attackers detected
+by fail2ban (http://www.fail2ban.org) using a p2p-network. 
+
+Basic concept:
+
+* Every node in the p2p-network is connected to at least one other 'friend'
+* friends exchange their public keys to verify messages signed with the
+  senders private key.
+* Nodes send each other messages when one of them detected an attacker
+* Nodes also pass along this information to spread it in the network
+* You can assign different trustlevels for friends and a threshold that is
+  required to ban an attacker locally.

+Short coding styleguide:
+
+- One class per file
+- One directory per package
+- One tab = 4 spaces
+- lower-case variables, if it consists of multiple words, beginning of every
+  new word is upper-case, e.g.:
+  donauDampfSchiffFahrtsGesellschaft, protocolVersion, tmp
+- the above is also true for function names
+- class names behave similarly, except for the fact that they begin with a
+  capital letter.
