Rendezvous Developer Stuart Cheshire Interviewed

Posted by pudge on from the i-just-want-rendezvous-enabled-bolo dept.

overunderunderdone writes "Found this interview of Stuart Cheshire, the Apple employee who developed Rendezvous (a.k.a. Zeroconf) and co-chairs the ZEROCONF working group. He provides some interesting history behind Zeroconf. But I thought his ideas for the future of Rendezvous was more interesting. He envisions a single protocol for everything from the keyboard, hard disk, peripherals, to the net connection -- just one kind of socket in the back of your box."

    Regarding your sig...

    I totally agree. Except. If everyone did that and there were no negative mods, goatse.cx and porn posters could mod themselves up too effectively.

    I'm happy that I don't see that shazz when I wade in at level 3.
