The spec is here: http://rfc.zeromq.org/spec:20 and it's marked as draft, so we can still change it.
We work with pull requests on a GitHub repo: https://github.com/zeromq/rfc Any change should be backed by a real problem and be minimal and backwards compatible. When it comes to software, a proof of concept in any language is fine. My own work goes into CZMQ (zbeacon) where we also work with pull requests. The full ZRE protocol is implemented partly by zbeacon, partly by Zyre (libzre, another project). It could be fun in your case to consider a Python binding for libzre. -Pieter On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 11:48 AM, Arnaud Loonstra <[email protected]> wrote: > On 10/27/2013 09:05 AM, Pieter Hintjens wrote: >> On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 11:54 PM, Arnaud Loonstra <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Yes, it's a natural pattern to say "bye bye" when leaving a room or >> ending a phone call, precisely to save the other person from wasting >> time wondering what happened.
