Comment #4 on issue 1596 by pekka.klarck: **kwargs support for remote library interface
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1596

@kormbrek, I actually do remember and I'm really ashamed I've left that pull request and the whole project hanging. I have excuses like life getting in the way and that project not being important for my client then, but this has nevertheless been totally unacceptable.

I've been thinking about resurrecting the project for some time now, and there are many reasons why I think it should be done now:

- The remote server could be enhanced many ways and that's easier to do if it is a separate project. - The server should be pip-installable. Again easier when it is a separate project. - Just this week I agreed with my client that we want to move Robot itself away from Google Code either to GitHub or BitBucket so that accepting contributions is easier. - A precondition to the previous item is moving all tools, demos, and other subprojects that are currently part of the core framework project away to separate projects. - RF 2.8.2 is out (and 2.8.3 will be ready soon too) and I have no other bigger project going on.
- My life isn't getting that much in the way anymore in general.

In other words, there are plenty of reasons why to do it and I also have time for it. Would you Kevin be interested to work with me getting the project going? Should start with discussing the current status, decide what is needed for 1.0 release, and also think a bit about the future. I'd prefer to use IRC for that so that others could join too and the discussion would be automatically logged to http://koti.kapsi.fi/peke/irclogs/robotframework/ for future reference.

This comment got pretty long. We probably should move this discussion to robotframework-users and then perhaps to IRC.
