No need to have a common API.  The important part (if we want
to avoid duplicate work) is sharing _components_. Whether they
are heartbeat, lock manager or data sharing/replication mechanisms
doesn't matter as long as we manage to avoid too much duplication
of effort.

The main point in this list is to give the clustering projects
a forum to share each other's components, instead of having each
of the projects reinvent their wheels in various incompatible
ways ;)

Btw, a #clustering channel on irc.openprojects.net has been
started, it could be a nice place to hang out ...

Rik
