@ingela

Have not had time to evaluate your suggestion yet, hope to have time to take a look “soonish”.

Hi @ingela We are not in a hurry, take your time

@rvirding

I like it but I have a problem with the name gen_agent

Hi @rvirding We are not nailed to a name (yet), as it is still more of a draft than anything else. Open to suggestions

@hansn

Maybe “gen_fetcher” or something else that describes it better?

And hi @hansn gen_fetcher seems to be too restricting IMO. The concept is not limited to fetching things, although this is probably what it may mostly be used for. However, you can also imagine using it to post something on Twitter, retrying if it happens to be down or something.
