Tor is designing their transport framework with the idea that other
networks might be interested in them.
A month back they asked other network devs what they would like to see
in the framework because they are going to rewrite and improve it. Guys
from I2P gave feedback and you might want to.

whole bunch of Tor-specific discovery/routing work like Matthew
mentioned.
The initial use case is limited to darknet connections between hidden
services.
Also keep in mind that this would just be a specific application of a
general feature which hides darknet connections. The most
time-consuming part of it would be finishing and merging transport
plugins.
That's a huge project and a long way off. Chetan's changes are huge,
and
there's much work still to be done. It's popular on Uservoice, but even
so, it's not the best use of limited time and funds IMHO.
And it's not even clear to me that it's the right approach; arguably
real-time network-visible crypto should not be in Java since we can't
do
constant time, can't pin pages in memory etc. And Tor transports are
external. So arguably we should have an external C daemon for crypto
and
transport layer.
And there are already people routing darknet connections over CJDNS.
I guess I'm not totally opposed; there are use cases for darknet
connections tunneled over other networks. You might know somebody as a
pseudonymous identity via e.g. hidden forums.
But it shouldn't be a priority. Certainly not before we've improved
darknet considerably.
Best wishes,
Arne
