Hello,I'm a student of Turin working with prof. Evert,I would work on the development of  CWB's “client-server interface” because I think that it's a very intresting job and I hope that the final result will can be useful for whole CQP comunity.

There is someone else that already is working on the development of the client - server interface?Does exist some documentation?
Best regards
