Ok, that's clear, at least. I've heard others here say that, though
I'm not sure who 'we' is yet.
I would be much less worried if I were hearing stuff like "We want it
to meet these documented requirements" (and a link to specs, designs
etc.), rather than "above all, we want it to be our own stand-alone
software project". There may be all kinds of good reasons for making a
fresh clean start. For me, "we want our own project" isn't enough.
Given GNU's pivotal role in the free software scene, I think there is
much more influence to had by working on interop between diverse
software systems.

+1 on the protocols being more important. But protocols, as much as
software packages, need requirements and design. Are there any drafts
kicking around that are ready for review?
