Well, I got impatient and started implementing based on 0.3 since it's
what I have installed right now, and I've got a basic one-way
connection. Gobby -> Emacs works fairly well, though there's no
distinguishing between users.

There are still a few mysteries in the protocol, but for the most part
talking straight with Gobby has proven a lot quicker than reading the
obby source... but that's probably because I really suck at/hate C++.

So, if anyone wants to try it out or help contribute, please feel
free. (Any Emacs people on this ML?) I've set up a page on my personal
Trac for it: http://dev.technomancy.us/phil/wiki/ebby

And you can get it through Subversion: 
svn export svn://technomancy.us/dotfiles/.emacs.d/ebby.el

The Trac at 0x539 seems to be mostly about Gobby. Would it be
appropriate to add an entry about Ebby there?
