Currently, as I understand it, when the client imports the stubs it gets
everything that the server offers. Might be nice to have some server
supported packaging of functions into to different "services". This might
be useful for when you want a single rugby listening port to handle very
different jobs. For example (this syntax for example only - not a request):
get-rugby-service/service tcp://... 'data/address-book
get-rugby-service/service tcp://... 'file-locking
It's not a high priority for me, just something I thought someone might
need.

I second Gregg's comment on simplicity. I think that is Rugby's primary
asset.
It would be nice to have the various features as add-ins. So if you don't
need
all the management, monitoring support, etc you don't have their overhead.
Then
again you could possibly make these as "load on first use" so that there is
no overhead
if they are not used.
I'll lend a hand to some documentation. Email me off-list for what you think
needs doing and
I'll respond with what I think I can do :)
Brett.
