In the future, I want to make Gambas projects scriptable by exporting some of 
the project classes. I imagine some component that creates a socket (unix or 
inet) and define a protocol allowing another gambas project to use the 
exported classes like normal classes.

Isn't it possible to merge the two ideas ? This is a question, I don't 
know :-)

- Sending XUL interface and receiving XML-RPC calls.
- Calling a project class from another project by XML-RPC.

After 1.0, I will try to allow Gambas projects to be used like components: 
exporting controls, having a *.component file, ... 

At the moment, the USE instruction allows including another compiled gambas 
project into a running one, but it is not the same behaviour than loading a 
component.

This way, your XUL developmement could be a true component, even if developed 
with Gambas :-)
