Hi Cees,

Michaël and I work on a project where we need to support discovery of 
hosts in a given network.
We spent some time looking at AardWorks code and applications (Chat, 
and Kolibris).
But, we aren't sure about how users learn about each other.

Imagine that x don't now anybody. Then how x can learn about existing 
other peers ?
My question is about how to "bootstrap" the system. We understood the 
idea of Gossiping.
But, how the first peer is discovered in AardWorks applications?

Thanks,
Noury
