357	Protocol for server discovery	dafrick	smerkli	"Orxonox at the moment, can only discover servers that operate in the same LAN. Your task would be to establish a protocol to discover servers all over the internet.

For that we would need a deamon on our orxonox.net server where other servers could register themselves and a protocol to contact the orxonox.net server and get a list of the servers that have registered themselves there.

This is a job for someone who already knows a bit about network programming. This task will probably involve analyzing other protocols (used for this task) and using enet to implement an orxonox version of such a protocol.
