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"
