3-rd option is interesting. Just that there will be alot of opposition
from people worrying about 1 ping an hour should some multicast group
announcement and subscription messages appear on the network...

Even APRS would be useful for folks that have
44net services to share.
(Re-inventing bonjour/ZeroConf....) Perhaps this is a good reason to
revive the HTPP convsers server (IRC clone) and use it for
announcements like the DStar folks do with IRC technology.
I think there would be some slightly different approaches:
1. a written announcement like writing "I have this nice webserver" on
convers
and requiring people to read the discussion there. of course this
information
will get lost over time as other services are announced there.
2. a more static approach like putting all available services on a WiKi
page that
can be edited by everyone.
(possibly in a hierarchic way with a page linking to other regional
pages)
3. an automatic system like bonjour where every active service is
regularly announcing
itself on the network and some page is dynamically updated when
services
appear and disappear.
It certainly is something that is worthwhile to take up because it is a
frequent
question when having new users. "what can I find on the net and where"
