Btw, is there an open protocol for detecting LAN/Wi-Fi users? I've heardthatApple's Rendevous can do this, but I don't know anything about it. Trepia
has the ability using a similar tactic, I think.
I have been poking around this concept for a month or so, and I might have
a 0.1 coming your way. What I would like to know for certain is, does trepia
use Zeroconf ? I would run a packet sniffer on it, but the darn thing
refuses to work on my development computer (HOORAY for a well-written piece
of software ...).
Trepia is *not* that intelligent.. it just uses some bad geography guesswork. It's not picking up people on the local network or anything like that.
Anyway, I'd like to see a JEP and related server and clientimplementations bynext week, thank you.
It might actually be much closer than you think ;-)
I've been in off/on contact with some, uh, people who are a bit more heavily involved in Rendezvous than jer (if Rendezvous is the impl you're thinking of for a JEP), and I'll probably work with them to come up with specifics for a JEP for using Jabber over Rendezvous when the time is right. I'd say about a month from now. maybe 20 days.
I had some basic commandline stuff going back when Rendezvous stuff first came out, but kinda let it slide over the school year. Despire Jer's stuff being straight C, I'm probably likely to use that stuff. If Jer is thinking of keeping it updated ;)
Anyway, I'd ask that any parties involved in Jabber Rendezvous stuff contact me privately for the time being.. at least hold off a little bit. It'll be worth it.
