In my opinion is needed a standard for data and communications.
One API with C library and meybe a Python/Ruby/Perl extension.
Sample data in raw format and challenge for compressions, coding etc.
Different real data, this same text in few languages, meybe images, sound , brodcast, music, maps etc. The competition would be how best to encode this data to fit into the 2kbps.
\data\oneday-minimal
\data\oneday1 for example this same text in more than 4 language
\data\oneday\images
\data\oneday\music
for example my program can put this same data and more languages and maps svg and small music.
What do you think?
