  Shard application for a replicated chat room with full history.

  Chat rooms are globally identified by their channel name.
  A chat room manifest is of the form:

      {:chat, channel_name}

  Future improvements:
  - message signing
  - storage of the chatroom messages to disk
  - use a DHT to find peers that are interested in this channel
  - epidemic broadcast (carefull not to be too costly,
    maybe by limiting the number of peers we talk to)
  - partial synchronization only == data distributed over peers
