No problem. I think I hardly need to change anything about the storage, only need
to
realize the retreival code.
GMS currently stores all data that passed its net to disk. (or gms naming:
'historyIO')
This is kinda rough, but in principal it's what you need.

Yep, by doing so reducing processing load.

No, arf, this is my suggestion:

    1)                2)                3)

      UI             UI               UI
        |                 |                    |
      \ | /            \ | /               \ | /
    rootDL      DL <--- DL
        |                 |
      \ | /            \ | /
BROKERING LAYER

1- rootDL log AUTOMATICALLY into the BL,
2- this rootDL can grant other DL's access to the BL,
3- every DL can deside to grant other DL access to ITS OWN nodes.
        (but maybe the rootDL shouldn't be able to do (3)? )

Clear?
