Hi all,

It's awfully quiet in here so I thought I share an idea I had for a 
distel hack. In my imagination its a perfect pastime for the upcoming 
holidays. Here we go:

I want to share a buffer between two or more machines running emacs. A 
shared pasteboard if you will - or an IM for (decentralized) teams of 
developers.

Features I imagine this hack to have:

- Security. At least for some buffers a cookie/certificate should be 
avail for access.
- Decentralized (serverless). Every client should have his own copy.
- Discovering distel nodes interested in participation. Something like 
RendezVous (Zeroconf). An example of this can be found here: 
http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ could be interesting.

Comments ? Anyone ?


cheers,

--david.
