I like this paragraph:
For an example of novel publication, Mercurial supports ad hoc
publication of repositories over a LAN using its built-in Web server,
and it supports discovery of repositories using the Bonjour protocol.
This is a potent combination for rapid development settings such as a
software project's sprint: just open your laptop, share your
repositories, and your Wi-Fi neighbors can find and pull your changes
immediately, with no server infrastructure required.
That's a pretty cool feature. Darcs should borrow this cool idea!
Ad-hoc networks to share patches.
Reminds me of my "crazy" idea to support get/push/pull via XMPP
(Jabber/GTalk). I still think ad hoc distributed coding via IM could be
amazingly useful.
As for bonjour, it might be possible to start with some like Giver_ and
iterate quickly on a simple, stupid patch sharing tool.
