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."

    Agreed!

    I mentioned this on another thread, but check out winbolo. It's a pretty damn good imitation for Linux/Windows, and a reasonably active userbase. But more would be better, esp. if enough registered to give the new developer (John Morrison) some dough :).

    Well, I'm fairly sure that perma-moderators aren't meta-moderated. So, CmdrTaco can moderate anything to any level that he wants with impunity. As it should be.

    As for people that get 5 points now and then, we shouldn't be able to mod anything negatively. We want points to mod good stuff up. Let the perma-moderators do the dirty work. :)
