Cool, So are we. :-)

I suppose we would be interested in two parameters:

A) get a generic sense of the overall global reachability
B) knowing when one of the nodes has a problem

For A) we would be fine with 'slow' measurements, performed with a
large, or in any case representative amount of probes.

For B) only a few, strategically located probes would work, but they
should measure on a frequent, near real-time basis (and it would help if
they are located on stable network-connections instead of a flaky
home-user link).

I have believed from the beginning that Atlas could be of use here, in
one way or another. And we would be more than happy to discuss any further.

We are also interested in doing other DNS research/measurements, namely
to the amount of DNSSEC validating resolvers with ISP's. Not sure if the
Atlas system could be of use there (don't really see why not though).

As SamKnows been mentioned here? There's quite some resemblance between
SamKnows and Atlas, and changes for synergy as well.
