Can we look at adopting either
JSON
YML
XML
as the transport machanism between server and client. This will make it MUCH easier for integration into other systems (which is what I'm doing atmo and its a pain).
This means we can all make different servers and clients ;-))
I think that Web issues is a perfect candidate for REST

First of all, it's nice to hear from you again :).
I recently updated the Wiki and wrote some articles regarding the protocol and the client interfaces that I'm planning to start creating next year.
We've had this conversation regarding JSON/XML/whatever for a very long time and I still don't quite get the problem. What exactly is a pain? The C++ code for parsing the WI protocol is 20 lines long and it can be translated into JavaScript or PHP or any modern programming language out there. I can do it for you if you like, that's no problem.
