On the other hand only unifying the protocol and developing both servers is (partly) duplication of effort. We should at first work out the details about our two different protocols to see what's common and what's different. Rob, could you write down something like a definition of your protocol structure (message types, etc) and where they are used? I will do so, too. If we both commented our servers well enough, it would be very easy ;-) (I'm no computer scientist, so it should be understandable for a laity ;-) I don't know when I find the time to do this, probably until next weekend. > I propose that Daniel and I (and other interested parties) come together on > IRC (#kde at irc.openprojects.net ?) in the near future so we can probe > each others thoughts and roadmaps.
