There are two distinct definitions in extremely common use on the 'net:

(1) to implement: write the code for something
(2) to implement: configure and deploy code for something

My interpretation of this thread is that Infinity is using definition #1, Sean and Morgaine are using definition #2. Infinity is asking specifically: "who will write the code that adds support for the protocol to a piece of software?" not "who will make use of software that implements the protocol?"

*ahum* I was most definitely using  definition #2. Yet, i *can* code, and given the importance of this aspect, i am certainly willing to assist in making this use case happen. However, i am not a professional programer, but just a scientist, coding my own analysis softeware. So i am likely to need a bit of help from some friends :)

On the other hand, i am convinced that a proper implementation of the SL use case (this time in the sense of definition  #1) will generate about  all the code we need for the tourist case. The difference between the SL model and the tourist model is largely at the policy level.  But when we get down to the specs, that will become clear soon enough.

Regarding the coding, i think Agent Domain code was written this summer. Is that available somewhere? i would like to have a look at that, to get a better feel for the size of the problem.
