Nearby devices will automatically find each other and connect via Bluetooth if their owners are on each other's contact lists. They'll also find each other via wifi if they're connected to the same network. A plugin for Wi-Fi Direct shouldn't be hard to write. If you have any information about how FireChat works on Android I'd be interested to hear it. Yaron Goland carried out some experiments recently that suggest it may use a combination of Bluetooth and wifi to connect without manual pairing: http://thaliproject.org/ExperimentWithFireChat Cheers, Michael -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJUwVdtAAoJEBEET9GfxSfMp9YIALNOxeYS/egH9sNnGkDUi2wO +cQQmHGnnTA8Me84Ccl0kJrq/4UtPYa6m57cQxsmUpHv5dL3TCNHp+4TYRbzII4t g1i9ilPez1IKeA82E+2o21Mq7EYy3geUSiVVaQGeA9+F+rr9cCTg4fYwc3HdvWdc k3hLZDZ/q6xMr0tiNxjgdb2cULjO9zDlpL2TOr9hMSDsByp98aqoLjN3DZ9CJBh2 dO2uVjVcfDyQ9J6g+zmKrlCGMgjGqXIeT3Z57NE5x/uc/wKzaWIislhKlPrWP33j fdu6pWbRgRVClCahD1oyUs0MKZwSKW7CtXlUDgnSta2vv7menz3DV7t6j03Keao= =wyXi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ p2p-hackers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zooko.com/mailman/listinfo/p2p-hackers
