RE: [gentoo-user] Gentoo and Rendezvous
I'd like to ask the group a tentative and highly general fuzzy question about zeroconf and rendezvous. Not really a question, more of a 'what about this Rendezvous stuff, eh?': Well, it seems neat. The main problem I see is an organisational one, not a technological one. Jini is also quite neat, but has not exactly conquered the world. If too many parties participate no agreement will be made, if too few parties participate agreements are made, but without broad acceptance. But, there is no reason to dismiss zeroconf because of that. Choice is good, even when it comes to standards. If there is proper software support for zeroconf, you would think somebody will make it available to Gentoo. That person could be you! Gwendolyn. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo and Rendezvous
I think a Rendezvous package for Gentoo would be excellent. I'd start using it immediately. Someday, I might even have enough time to work on it.

I'd be interested to hear how much integration my Gentoo system can stretch toward the Rendezvous end. Rendezvous, or zeroconf, isn't specifically only an Apple thing, although that's where it's found most commonly, and that's where the name is branded most prominently. It'd be interesting to see it proliferate in Gentoo's environment too, perhaps. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
