 Don't worry, I hear you, but:

  1. no one will develop a client for functionality, if there is no server
 against which to use it; it's kind of chicken and egg problem really,
 because of course opposite holds as well -- you need a lot of internal
 motivation to develop a server-side feature which has no client (although
 that's usually the direction by which the developments goes),
  2. I understood deryni's question as request for a developing platform --
 it is exceedingly hard to develop a client when there is no server against
 which you can test your implementation.
