Goals
SimplePush is based off of Thialfi. This system manages version numbers for assigned channels. In short: A client checks to see if it's version matches what's on the push server. If so, do nothing, if not, go fetch from the app server.
This system provides a low cost, scalable, system to manage these version lookups.

Platform Requirements
The system has been designed and tested for Linux using both Ubuntu Precise and AWS flavors.
==Libraries Required==The system currently is based on Go. It is strongly recommended at this time to use the latest Go Tip source, or at the very least Go 1.1.
The mod_test module testing unit uses python 2.7 and requires VirtualEnv to be properly installed.
All other dependencies are brought in by the respective installers.
