You can see our current workplan here, including Bluetooth, NFC, and mDNS support:

With the current Kerplapp wifi sharing, you don't need to setup wifi tethering
if you don't want to. You just need to get both devices on the same wifi
network.  This should work fine on most wifi networks, but some large
institutional wifi networks prevent all traffic between devices on the wifi.
