Can I become a part of
kibunch?
You speak kibunchese?
Thats all you need to do to be part of kibunch.
kibunchese is the protocol we use.
Whats the
protocol? Where can I get it?
Wonder how so many modules communicate
effectively? Its the protocol that we use. The protocol is open but
still in an inconsistent state from the view of a newcomer.
Give us sometime and we'll give you the full prorocol so you can start
writing applications that run on kibunch.
