I would think that we should do it in such a way that it would be easy to
provide alternative interfaces (GUI via wxWindows, GUI via Tk, console, web,
wap, what-not). This would probably mean that we will need to at least
provide some sort of API. At first I thought that it could be done in a
simple TCP client/server model but this would be an akward way for the web
interface (which will probably be the main one). So, maybe we could make it
via SOAP or XML-RPC interfaces? This is open for discussion but I would
think that we should not "lock ourserves" in a web interface only.

Yes. As far as I know there are programmers from very different backgrounds
here, some doing mostly Windows programming, some strictly from unix world
and some doing both. For example I am usually developing on Windows, but I
also have a FreeBSD machine. So yes, we should strive for cross platform
applications IMO.

If we are really stuck, perlmonks.org should help ;)

Me too.

Not really.
