Hi Chris,

FWIW, there is a small group headed by Jan Shenkel currently working 
on a published standard & library for interprocess communications in 
RunRev.

My promise to the group was that I would create an open source, 
client/server version of Serendipity Database--Binary if the group 
provided the basic underlying PPC communications capabilities.

We are currently testing version 0.000001 of the IPC library, and I 
began yesterday to rewrite the SDB handlers in Serendipity Library. 
The single-user SDB handlers were designed so a client/server version 
would be plug-compatible in terms of syntax; so I hope my efforts 
won't take more than a few weeks.

If you would like to evaluate the single user version of SDB, 
download Serendipity Library at 
<http://www.oenolog.com/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm>.

If you are interested in following the progress of the client/server 
version, contact me privately.

If you would like to participate in the Rev IPC group, contact Jan 
Shenkel privately.
