Not a bad suggestion! ;)
Anyway, I think the discussion will be started soon. :)

The communication layer should be written from scratch. There will be no 
S-expression parser/generator or any low level communication code. 
Player provides client libraries which include classes for different 
sensors and actuators, and teams should use them instead of 
communicating through network. And in fact there might be no network 
communications at all (e.g. for integrated agent). So I think it won't 
need much time and if we can finish it soon, it'll be possible to use it 
for this year's competitions.

Good luck,
Hedayat
