2) Stratagus main server adds the IP address of the new game server to a simple ServeLists.txt
3) User is looking for a server. He clicks "Refresh List". This sends a request to Stratagus main server to download ServeLists.txt
4) ServeLists.txt is downloaded and interpretted into the client, producing a list of current servers.
It would be cool if we could use someone elses infrastructure. That's why I mentioned DC. Surely there would be a few programs out there we could use (or fork).
An in-game IRC client can be used if pre-game chatting, like Battlenet, is neccessary.. It would connect to the FreeNode Stratagus channel.
Do it.
