Hi!

I was more talking about the format of a saved file. As I understand
kplato is going to use a XML-file for storing the data to disk? It
would be of great benefit to everybody if the format of this XML and
the one used in MrProject would be the same.

Since MrProject currently uses CORBA for communicating it's already
available to most platforms/languages. We have for example been using
python+ORBit for testing the backend part of the program.

But using SOAP or CORBA isn't really the issue here, even if it would
be cool to be able to use our backend with your frontend and the other
way around.
