## Roadmap
- Design and implement client 3.x protocol
* Initial Connection State (ICS) Handler
* Protocol/Connection Handler for Client 3.x Protocol
- Design and implement client 4.x protocol:
* Initial Connection State (ICS) Handler
* Protocol/Connection Handler for Client 4.x Protocol
- Design and implement FDO rendering engine
* FdoClientSurface
* Fdo*Control (e.g., FdoTextControl, FdoButtonControl)
* FDO Scripting Engine
* FDO Forms Rendering Engine
- Services/Tool Registry: A place to store configuration for server-side tools
- Content database: A centralized place to store FDO forms
## Possible Expansion
- Implement _Mirabillis® ICQ_ protocol support?
- Pidgin TOC/OSCAR support?
- Module loader? (for modularizing scripting/FDO forms)
