Talk:Network2/Paper

Converting some of this to simple goals

From discussion with mstone:

1. "I want to chop out 2-3 layers from the current six-layer network stack."
2. "I want to name my machine heap.mstone.info and have that identifier work whether I am sitting under a tree with a mesh link to you or on a wide-spread network."
3. "I want to be able to go to /etc/hosts and type in the address I want in case it can't be found otherwise, and have it just work"

point 2. would make it

• more fun to use and swap gobby files, use bittorrent, and share other documents with other people and via Firefox.
• possible to maintain a useful URL as a machine moves around

It will let me try something like scott's journal2 demo on lots of XOs, with doc-search and feed-reading facilities that function as designed

• there's this cool idea that you should be able to type a search entry into a firefox search bo and have it search anyone's journal, including mine and yours. I also want your journal to publish feeds for any search of it that I send to it, so that I get updates when you add something matching that search to your journal.
