[Air-l] asking for advice

[João Martins]

Hi 

My name is João Martins and I am a post graduated student in 
Communication at Universidade Federal Fluminense, (or 
Fluminense Federal University, if you like), seated in Niterói, Rio de 
Janeiro, Brazil, researching for my thesis about social dynamics of 
cooperation in the development of the Gnutella Protocol. Besides 
the work in my project I am working also, as a volunteer, in the 
documentation of http://rfc- gnutella.sourceforge.net/, a project that 
assembles the various documents that make up the Gnutella RFC. 
My responsibilities are associated with the research directory, with 
intent to gather together the academic interest in that protocol. So, 
I want to ask your advice regarding the existent bibliography upon 
the protocol.  The main perspective of rfc-gnutella relates to the 
technology, but my interest is to implement a sociological view. 
So, I am asking your advice. Any interesting papers or thesis are 
welcome. 
Thanks
João Martins
