Hi Sean, There's no specific forum yet. Mostly I've been spreading the idea that we have a real problem, and that we can solve it using what we've learned from ZeroMQ. It seems to me that people need to dream first, as you say, before we move to work together.
Why not start a forum, a mailing list, a wiki, or something? Perhaps even a Google group, or IRC channel? You would be taking a concrete step. I've used Wikidot in the past with good results. We might also use GitHub issues as a forum. Perhaps a github.com/edgenet/discuss project? What do you think? -Pieter On Fri, Dec 20, 2013 at 3:21 AM, Sean Robertson <[email protected]> wrote: > Is there a place for discussion specific to Edgenet?
