    * This will need an extension of the X2Go Session Broker:
      * Add a session profile storage (on a per-user basis) based on e.g. MongoDB
      * Make these session profiles configurable through a nice WebGUI
    * The current public implementation of the X2Go Session Broker is written in Python.

+ ==== JSON based protocol for communication between X2Go Client and X2Go Session Broker ====
+ 
+   * JSON is a very appropriate data format when two applications what to exchange data
objects via text base communication streams
+   * Currently, X2Go Client and X2Go Session Broker currently communicate over a plain text base communication protocol. This protocol is not very tolerant about errors
+   * To make the client<->broker communication more robust, this shell be changed to X2Go Client
+   * However, transparent backward compatibility must be granted at the same time: new X2Go Clients must continue to be able to speak the older broker protocol, new X2Go Session Brokers must be able to understand old X2Go Clients
  
  ==== Interface between LightDM's remote login feature and X2Go Session Broker ====
  
    * The remote login feature in LightDM uses UCCS for session brokerage. The UCCS is a very public service. The main caveat is: UCCS offers to store user passwords and these passwords (at time of Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.04) get stored in plaintext at Canonical (or at least can be easily unhashed). A site admin surely would love to have such a web portal as
UCCS at hand, so that the remote login feature can be used on the local network without Canonical as the brokerage provide in the loop.
