This sounds really cool.

My advice is to merge little changes to master as rapidly as you can,
so people start playing with it, and contribute back.

A few other lessons we've learned: keep the higher level APIs
consistent (so one API for C# apps no matter what stack they use), and
raise the level of the API from the low-level to something more like
CZMQ or PyZMQ. Lastly, if you experiment with TLS, be sure to talk to
Lourens so it's compatible with his work in the same area, in libzmq.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the first demo apps running on NetMQ.
