I thought we were talking about collaboration. MSN, IRC etc are basically chat protocols. Cerebro has little to do with such protocols; its goal is to provide efficient and scalable presence and data sharing in an ad-hoc, mobile environment where even IP addresses are a burden to maintain. I believe such functionality to be central to OLPC and should not be used "interchangeably" with anything else as long as you have and "msh0" interface ;-) p. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
