We (especially you) have always just added stuff to the current protocol, and hoped that the clients/servers/libraries kept up to date with it. Sometimes you have even done it to the previous version of the protocol, just to annoy me. It would be nice if TP04 could be the first feature-complete protocol (just need research and diplomacy). I wasn't suggesting a new version of the protocol. The Research page on the wiki has the latest. But I have given up trying to push this forward. I note that the message you replied to is over a year old. And I started working on research at LCA 07. Do we need to have a week where we focus on the protocol? What's with all the poking? What brought on this interest in things mentioned a year ago for you to agree to or discuss that had no action taken since?
