Using out-of-band communication is another way. The server based chat is one way of doing this, on top of the server protocol (without the server having knowledge of it). People who want to connect to everyone in the world can advertise their address, and they will get what they deserve :) And of course there is DNS. That will still work as before. -- Bernd Stramm <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
