Hi homenet,
There was great conversation about homenet-simple-naming a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to see if I could summarize where that ended up.

Main points discussed were device (friendly? pretty?) name and/or identity (public key?) and basic end user management (like giving devices names).

What I read into the discussion (which may not be what others read -- in which case we can and should re-discuss) is:
Some users like to give their devices pretty/friendly names. We need to make sure that's possible, but not required.
Others will simply accept whatever name the device comes with.
These names are visible to users and should not be confused with credentials or a stable identity. But they do need to be unique.
Stable identity is also needed.

So how did I do? And where does this take us?
Barbara
