The C client is continued to being developed (in fact, that is the
only client I am working on.) So even if you don't have java, the
C client should compile anyplace that the server (w X11) will compile.
The only case I can see wanting to use the server with X11 instead of
client/server is if you are running both on the same system (ie,
home/local system) - a little more lag is introduced.

Getting rid of X11 will clean it up some.
I know a lot of people (including myself) have said cleaning up code is
important. However, from people that have worked on the code, what
do you think the major areas taht code cleanup should concentrate on? I
think i am a little too close to the code to see the same type of problems
that other people might be seeing.
As for version 1.0: What do people think should be the measure of
a 1.0 release? Fully working client/server? Anything beyond that?
If all that is required is a fully working client/server, I can see a 1.0
release within 6 months.
