Proposal: Develop application that provides addresses of clients to other clients on the Internet
I want to propose a new project that enables the Apache Server to provide
the addresses (IP address and port) of clients (PC, PDA, etc.) to other
clients on the Internet. This application is somewhat similar to Presence
Servers available in the market but it goes through firewalls/NATS, and it
is very light-weight; it only provides the address and leaves the rest to
the clients for peer-to-peer communication/collaboration/etc. Great for
mobile person who wants to communicate/collaborate with other people from
anywhere on the Internet.
Questions:
-----------
Is this the right place to develop this project? If not, then is there
another linux based open software development foundation that is suitable
for this project?
Status Of Project:
-------------------
There is absolutely no code written yet.
Regards,
vineet

In general, Apache only accepts projects with an existing community or at
least sourcebase with the potential to attract a large community. I would
suggest you start the project and attract a community at
http://sourceforge.net and once you've started that much make a proposal. A
second path would be to apply to the http://jakarta.apache.org/commons (for
java) or http://commons.apache.org.
