[X2go-dev] headless client with pyx2go

[Dick Kniep]

Hi Mike and list,

We are seasoned python developers and thus very capable in assisting in the build of pyx2go client. We could fund some of the development, but we prefer to assist in the development ourselves, because that way we have some influence in the development and also in the speed of the development. That is also why I asked for documentation.

If you have started a project for this, we would be happy to participate. So if you have an svn server or something and could give me read/write access we would definitely help. But......

We do need some information on the architecture that we would use. We have looked at the way information is  exchanged with the server and I start to understand some of it, but a lot is still blurry. So PLEASE give me some insight in the architecture and what component implements which part.
