Topics

• Review of the ros::zeroconf::jmdns::Zeroconf api.

• Specialised ros master setting api (i.e. pull ros master details automatically from rosjava)?

I don't have an immediate use case for exactly 'ros master' publishing/discovery but I'm sure others do. DanielStonier

• Is parameter setting useful to anybody?

I was going to do this, but in android, I think it is easier having a configuration interface built into the app since you wont be writing yaml files much there. Maybe an Activity which does this? DanielStonier

• Is there an interest in using jmdns outside of android?

Am thinking of possibly using it on other platforms (windows, linux). It has a few rough edges yet, but working with the developer to improve it in these areas. DanielStonier
