That I remember, but I wanted the answer not from you.
Whatever. Unfortunately, your answer is just a part of
possible answer. One can write APIs on top of APIs
no matter how crazy are the APIs. What is the application
that you gonna build with your API? What is the *task*?
I understand that the question is hard. If you have no
answer - just say : "I don't know. Just playing with APIs"
and that would be a honest answer. As I said -
I see nothing wrong with that. Some interesting things
can pop up out of such activities.
The only thing needed in this case would be saying loud:
"RDDL is our student project, we're just playing
with APIs". And please remove my name from the
paper. I'm not playing with RDDL APIs, why should
I be listed as a contributor?
OK, I see. I ask too much. I want people to be
honest with themselves.

is a game with words.
To describe the clear task one should decompose
'processing' into something more particular.
I feel like I'm talking to one of PHBs, who
asks me : "well ... you - go write me some prorgam
that would simplify my interaction with the
computer!".
The first thing I ( and you ) would ask him
will be : 'what do you mean by "interaction"' ?
What do you mean by "processing" ?
Now you can start joking or playing that you
don't understand what I'm talking about, like
you did in the beginning of the thread.
I think the number of 'RDDL supporters' is
very small. I guess it should be easy to
identify all of them and I think that being
'RDDL supporter' would not be a good
thing for the reputation.
