Hi all,
My name is Ma Jie and I'm a senior student from China. I have some
developing experiences on Haiku, which I learned when I was working on
the poorman server.
I would like to take up the ZeroConf idea as my gsoc project. I made a
quick comparison between mDNSResponder (Bonjour) and Avahi. I find
mDNSResponder may be better than Avahi. So my project will be:
1. porting mDNSResponder to haiku.
2. a mDNSResponder configuration preflet, which can be integrated into
the network preflet in the future.
3. a services browser and notifier, which may be integrated into the Deskbar.
If the above goals is not enough to work in three months, the addition
will be "4. making PoorMan server utilize the zeroconf network." This
also can be a demonstration to other haiku services on how to use the
zeroconf network.
I'm waiting for your comments. Thanks.
Regards,
majie
