welcome aboard ttops!...appreciate ur initiative...what we have here is the following 3 options: a) build upon the existing functionality of bryce lightning to include logging/timestamp features b) build a client from bottom-up that is downloadable and can provide the required features - If you are familiar with Java then do check out http://www.jxta.org These guys have provided an entire framework specifically geared towards p2p apps c) build an applet: for e.g. I came across this login/password app on http://www.javaside.com/asp/mus.asp?page=/us/tpassword.shtml . Perhaps we could look on building a similar architecture I am acquainted with C and partly with C++...I am currently going thru Java...I have no web programming experience per se and am looking forward to a first good project...this seems quite tantalising...So it really is your call as to the route we shld take to get there... why don't u get on to our yahoo groups?...hey, nice work in 3D btw! looking fwd to working with u... BTW ppl check http://www.respower.com/ - we cud have something similar for no cost if this goes thru!
