Rogers is looking at JXTA and seemingly likes what he sees. He mentions how it is language-agnostic which I think most people don't realize.
JXTA is really just an XML-based protocol for communication among peers. The reference implementation of that protocol has been written in Java but that shouldn't stop anyone from trying to implement in their language of choice.
He also mentions that idea of a P2P RSS aggregator which is something that has been swirling in my mind for a long time. I tried to get involved in Reptile but I could see that Kevin's attention was on NewsMonster.
Overall, I'm looking forward to Rogers' column.
