= Points for BoF discussion by TrentLloyd(Lathiat) =
So this spec has grown, and is reaching a fair bit out, but I think the following points need to be focussed

 * Moving avahi into main [deps libdaemon]
 * Determining / deciding to evaluate possible IPv4-LL solutions (zeroconf, network-manager)
   - Obviously zeroconf has been shown to have possible issues at UBZ, need to investigate actual cause and possible solutions
 * Shipping Avahi by Default (but disabled)
 * Exposing a UI to turn it on
   - How/where/what/why? UI at all? would be nice to be an easy tick option
 * Moving libnss-mdns into main
  - Installing by default
  - Shipping on by default
 * Configuring as many programs as possible to use Avahi, including with howl and bonjour compat layers


=== User Interface Requirements ===

 * Various applications need to be extended to support Avahi. Good examples would be gnome-vfs (for nautilus), gaim, muine and cups. I (TrentLloyd) plan to do this work where possible for upstream.
 * GnomeMeeting in CVS supports service discovery, using Avahi instead of Howl with a patch by SebastienEstienne. Ubuntu cannot use howl due to various licensing problems.
 * service-discovery-applet : allows to quickly access zeroconf services. This applet can also be considerated as a generic GUI to add zeroconf support for client that doesn't support it yet. (eg: it can browse for Zeroconf Web servers and launch firefox with the good URL).

=== Corporate Users ===
The zeroconf technology would be a great addition to UbuntuForSmallBusinesses and SmallBusinessServer.
 * The common use case is small business from 5 to 20 workstations and 1 or 2 servers.
 * John install his Ubuntu 4 SBS server, and create the different user accounts.
 * Then John wants to install the workstations, he starts the computer with a Ubuntu Cd
 * The install cd detects the apt-proxy (through zeroconf)
 * The installation is over, and Marc wants to login, the kerberos server is detected
 * Marc wants to write a mail, he starts evolution: smtp, imap, ldap, webcal all configured throught zeroconf
 * Marc wants to call its friend to tell him how great is zeroconf, he starts gnomemeeting that automatically detects asterix (Pabx) and route the call.
 * John's firm is getting bigger, he needs to add a new server for fault tolerance: he starts his brand new Ubuntu 4 SBS server, it detects that there is already one Ubuntu 4 SBS servers and automatically replicates its configuration.
