I wasn't aware of the Socket

possibilities for some interesting applications.

Indeed, this can get real interesting.  I while ago I developed a web app to manage variable definitions, and a GUI to upload or use these definitions.  I did it in the FDK, but that's not an issue.  See the docs for it here:

I think there could be lots of room to develop interesting features with data stored "on the cloud" as it were.  If we could re-implement MML in some form, that would open things up tremendously.  But there's still lots of data you could put out there, and a possibility to offer a subscription-based service.  Also, this would be the way to integrate Maker with a WIKI...

I'd love to hear peoples' ideas for features along these lines that they would find interesting!
