I LIKE IT!!!
I watched the movie and thought this is too much work. :-( It'll NEVER
happen :-(((
But check out http://sourceforge.net/projects/touchgraph/ and it makes it
all do-able :-)
After the protocol has been created we simply save it (I vote XML) for later
retrieval and/or for sending to others.
I would ADD it to the to-do list but as a DO-LATER type thing.
Start simple (Using the modular design) then work up. :-)
