Description Simon McVittie 2009-01-15 08:49:42 UTC 
Currently the actions you can do with Tubes are (using VNC desktop-sharing as an example):

* method called by Bob: "please start a VNC server and let Alice connect" (CreateChannel/Offer)
* signal seen by Alice: "Bob offered to let you connect to his VNC server" (NewChannels)

It might also be good to have the reverse:

* method called by Alice: "please ask Bob to share his desktop with me"
* signal seen by Bob: "Alice has requested that you start a VNC server and let her connect"

(after which Bob would continue as above).

In the case of VNC this would be particularly useful as a support tool, e.g. if Bob is asking Alice to show him how to do something, Alice could reply with one of these requests.
