I don't really know any special working procedures or anything. Pretty much 
just relying on Subversion to let us turn back code if anything goes 
horribly wrong. On the leJOS Sourceforge project it seemed to go well by 
just letting people know what you were working on (to avoid duplicate work) 
and then letting us know when something new was committed. If anyone wanted 
to throw in their 2 cents they could do that in the mailing list.

So far in iCommand it seems like we know what everyone is doing. When it 
comes time to merge this as the wireless aspect of leJOS NeXT we will 
probably have to change our API quite a bit to match leJOS, so nothing is in 
stone right now.

For the keepalive, I saw that command in the NXT docs but haven't played 
with it much. I think the important thing is to put any method for keepalive 
in there, test it on the next release (and among ourselves when we update 
Subversion) and then we can hone it some more if there are problems on each 
subsequent release. As soon as we figure out how to have forums for general 
users we can get some feedback from them. (The lack of a mail server on 
Sourceforge/a place to host the forum is our problem.)
