Re: Summary of "What is missing for building real services" thread

As far as I know, yes, there's a lot of interest on using WebRTC
server-side and for native (non-browser) applications, so a native API
& bindings are being necesary. I know personally three companies (my
employer is one of them) having difficulties to work with native
WebRTC APIs, and from a personal perspectice, I'm interested on it so
I can be able to develop in-browser and server-side head-less WebRTC
applications using the same base code.
