I am interested in these things, but I am not sure it would be a goo= d
intern project.=C2=A0 Maybe I'm just being sheepish, but since we don&#= 39;t even
have consensus yet on a design for this, I worry that it might not be
fair to ask an intern to take this on at this time.

I know you meant GNUnet, but what about publication over mDNS?=C2=A0= That
would be super nice, but I don't know how complicated it would be.
=C2=A0
There was some idea that this could also be d= one using ipfs. Actually this
was just an idea, that would be nic= e to have, and I think I am open to
suggestions how this should w= ork. It turned out on the guix event, that
we already have a work= ing solution, we might have more knowhow lingering...
I do not fe= el that I could mentor this though.
