I think that generating a DNS-SD profile, and seeking critique within
that context would be a good step to take. tla already has the core
hooks needed for a configuration detecting daemon to add registrations,
and to parse the list of archives for ones on the local machine to
advertise. I can think of a couple of tweaks to assist - but they can
wait.

I fully agree that social solutions don't scale. Google solves problems
that word of mouth, and a whiteboard don't.
