Rapid Prototyping

To get the UI right, and also to get a feel for the networking API, I'd want to take the rapid-prototyping approach. Focus remains on getting the details right from a user's perspective, and not the design per se. Once we have something working and find ourselves on the same page as to the UI details, prototype needs to be dumped and we start all over again. This may sound like a waste of time but proponents of the approach swear by it, more so when we're new in this arena and have no clue what the end result's gonna look like.

Working in the sandbox, I guess we can begin now. Will also be an exercise in how well we communicate, and see what needs be done to streamline it. Hoping to setup SVN and stuff late in the evening today.
