[Peerpress-main] Anyone alive out there?

[Nick Lothian]

I'm still around.

I did a little work on an ICE server written in Perl, but then found there
was an Open Source Java one being written (which I can no longer find any
reference to).

I'm stil interested in this area, and have been monitoring a few other
related lists (Decentralization and RSS-DEV amonst others).

I'm pretty much +1 on all Joakim's proposals. I'll respond separeratly to
that email.
