Great work so far!I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I am also a php/mysql programmer and have been working on a LAN management system as well.While my end goals are similar to ilumos's (Steam integration, planning, events) mine has short term goals of simplifying game setup and connections of mostly older games which require connecting via IP address. When you connect to the system, it grabs your mac address, creates an account and then displays your IP address to everyone that is connected. You can then quickly chat and reference people's IP address when connecting to LAN game servers.
I have been to way too many LAN parties where people had a hard time finding their IP address and sharing it with everyone.Feel free to read more:My app is still under development and hasn't been tested at a LAN (that will take place this weekend).My proposal to ilumos is that we work together and combine our efforts. What do you think ilumos?.
