[ovs-discuss] OVSDB list_dbs monitor/update

[Zayats, Michael]

Sounds good.  

What would be the process of contribution to the project? 
I would imagine creating some small write-up on the planned changes, getting your agreement, submitting the patch, reviewing and committing?

Thanks,

Michael

That's fine with me.  I suggest adding a JSON-RPC notification that a client can sign up for.  Whenever the list of database changes, the server would send the new list to all of the clients that signed up for the notification (and continue to disconnect the other clients).
