[Calendula-devel] multiple clients

[Darryl Caldwell]

Hi,

Benevolent Dictator here.

Sorry, I was trying to do too many things at once yesterday (and today).
Let's set the mulitple client discussion aside for now.

I want to keep this first round of Calendula development very simple.
Until a working prototype (even a mediocre one) is out for all to see,
this project is not get the attention it deserves.

To wit, I will be polling you all for an inventory of your talents. I
will be making requests of you coders for specific tasks.  

Baby steps.....

-D

If not, why would we write a full blown (presumably) multi-threaded client that cannot maintain a persistent connection to the server?  In this case, the desktop GUI seems pointless, dynamically rendered web pages would fit the bill just fine.
