RE: Rapid Prototyping

When I code, I implicitly use rapid prototyping. I'm very fond of writing small modules which help me visualize what I'm trying to do. So yes, I do agree the approach is worthwhile. Only caveat is that we need to make sure we don't digress from our common goal. Also, an eye on the bigger picture will not hurt!

My initial thinking was that we should provide a bare-bones UI which just allows the user to chat. That's it. Once we have the protocol issues resolved, we could go ahead, adding more to the UI. Simple rule I guess - "Functionality over eye-candy!".
