Retroshare Namecoin integration

I think integrating Namecoin in Retroshare would have even more impact than the integration in Bitmessage.

"RetroShare is a Open Source cross-platform, Friend-2-Friend and secure decentralised communication platform.
It lets you to securely chat and share files with your friends and family, using a web-of-trust to authenticate peers and OpenSSL to encrypt all communication.
RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages, forums and channels"
In the Namecoin identities could be introduced a field for Retroshare connection point and those who know that identity can ask for connection permission from the owner.
- It could be build even an open network based on Retroshare where all identities are connected and they could share messages and/or files, posts. For this purpose could be created a Retroshare namespace which could have the functionalities of Napster, Bitmessage and Diaspora together.
I tried the program and it is working as stated. The most problems are the low speed because of bad standard configuration(it is still much faster than Bitmessage) and lack of a general available network(you need to create your own network). This could be much improved if a proper network is created with Namecoin identities and the speed is optimized for it.
