[Project] Protocol & API. was: Re: Kieran's comments

[Stuart Grimshaw <stuart@xxxxxxx>]

The central controller & API's for different languages should be two
seperate
projects undertaken by the group as a whole. That way people will have the
choice to use them or not.

But before we can start work on either the API's or the central control we
need the protocol to at least be designed and properly specced.

For that I suspect Keiran will need to talk to John & Keith about how
their
work is going. (Can you CC me in on those emails if they are off list)
