If anyone feels like adding this functionality to their client / server, the docs needed are the DNS over IP-multicast internet draft (draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt) and the DNS-Based Service Discovery draft (http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd.txt). (DNS-Based Service Discovery can be used with conventional DNS, but is much less useful.)

Hi all,
I'm sure many of you saw this on slashdot: http://www.trepia.com/
Looks like an interesting idea, and the client reminds me of Rhymbox, but they don't use Jabber. :P :P :P
And an article for ya: http://slate.msn.com/id/2083733/
It seems it suffers from the usual issues that Jabber does: no users, lame client. Well, at least we are farther along than Trepia. However, something tells me that with all this recent publicity, Trepia will get a ton of users.
IMO, a superior solution could be made using Jabber. No need for Trepia to re-invent the IM client wheel again or waste their converts on a dead-end protocol.
We already have extendable presence, vcards, avatars, browsing ..
Btw, is there an open protocol for detecting LAN/Wi-Fi users? I've heard that Apple's Rendevous can do this, but I don't know anything about it. Trepia has the ability using a similar tactic, I think.
Anyway, I'd like to see a JEP and related server and client implementations by next week, thank you.
