Hi,
Howl says he is busy with come commercial product but he'll be around if
we need any help. For my purpose I only need service discovery, and I don't
know much about the Avahi and Bonjour APIs. However I wouldn't mind making a
general wrapper. I hope to learn from wxAvahi and wxDNSSD. Please help me
with the APIs. I have submitted a request for wxZeroconf component on
wxCode.
