This might help against the open source problem which Steph mentioned a few
month ago:  That boring tasks get never done.
But I'm sceptical that we would get new programmers.  And since our
workforce is so small right now, I oppose this - for now.

Can't we just take an existing net-library or copy some code from
another open source project like stratagus?

After all networking isn't a glob2 specific problem.  There should be
people out there that have already solved these problems.

If not, we could extract our network code and use it to start a library.
Others might find it useful and start debugging it.

That would be Steph, Nuage or Bradley.
