In the last weeks I thought about a few interesting aspects of the future internet evolution. (This may sound strange but I have no other words for this) I'll just write down my ideas when I have time and send them to the appropriate mailing lists. Please think about them or discuss them. I just want to know that other people get to them and that they are not wasted. - If you have the time please send me a reply. I'm not subscribed to this mailing list. I don't have the time. Maybe I have time in the next months to work on some of my ideas and I would like to hear from anyone who thinks that they are worth working on them. This first idea has to do with the human - network server interaction. What I'm often not interested in is if my friends are on but if their computers are. - Think of it in a P2P style. You have a CVS repository, an ftp server, or something else important on another computer that's not always online. - I would like to see the state of these systems in my Jabber to know if I can acces them (e.g. to check-in some files) There are three other areas that need to be worked on in this environment: 1.) Servers have to be represented as another object. (They have to be handled differently on the clients) 2.) It should be possible to establish a TCP session from one Jabber host to the other to send data over in a non-DNS using fashion. (e.g. dynamic IPs. - I know you can use dynamic-dns but jabber establishing a TCP connection for CVS looks better to me.) 3.) It should be possible to be notified when a contact gets available. (server/host or friend/human) - I don't want to have a sound whenever someone logs in/out but what I really would like to see is a notification when I first said "tell me when <blah> is online". I'll post my other ideas in a few days when I have time to write them down. I'd be really interested to hear from you if you have some interesting thoughts or you want to work on this. _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
