Is there anybody working on WiFi P2P support? If not, I'd be happy to help out. What is the state of WiFi P2P and at what layer must it be implemented. I see that there is some code at this file

Please point me towards resources to get started if this is feasible

Just FYI, if you want to get answers on IRC, you might have to wait around a bit longer or ideally get a bouncer. Just depends a lot on when people are around. (I don't know anything about the topic itself, sorry) I was just curious, how will this partially solve the external display problem?

Thanks for the info about IRC. I'm new to it and the ideas are very different than a more modern chat application (no history, the architecture, etc)

How this would partially solve the external display problem: Implementing WiFi P2P would enable Miracast to work. Miracast works based on WiFi P2P. It might not be ideal for an external display for getting work done but it would work just fine for giving presentations. Most 'presentation displays' at workplaces around where I live are just huge TVs that support Miracast. Is it the same around the world?

Applications like gnome-network-displays, Miracleast etc implement an OSS version of Miracast. So we are good on the application layer. We just need the layers beneath to support it.

Yeah, it's quite different. Right, sure I guess for presentation displays it might work, though I'm not that familiar with Miracast. I cannot say how it is around the world, I'm more used to just plugging in HDMI, but that really depends on the job and company I think. Would definitely be cool, I cannot tell you more unfortunately. You can alternatively also check irc logs, though ppl might not answer anymore if they think you left.

(or use sth like irccloud, which makes it more like a normal chat app but costs money)
