What is Possible?

Action: remove redundant play-by-mail bullet point, "A play-by-mail (or bluetooth) file sharing app"
Action: Get Mike Tyson to sponsor us ;)

How Pigeon Differs from Traditional Sneakernet

Note: This was the best explanation of Pigeon yet!

What a Message Looks Like

Action: Put a diagram together that demonstrates how Example 1 and Example 2 relate to each other (or don't relate)

I Have Internet Access. Why Should I Care?

Note: Great list of links

Prior Art

Action: Add a link to SSB
Action: Add a link to SSBC

Constraints and Design Philosophy

Action: Switch Offline-first with Offline-only, then continue with the explanation that the protocol is offline only (just like SQLite), but other apps and servers can utilize it for online purposes.

The Initial Implementation Should...

Note: I don't think the initial implementation should Allow for importing/exporting to SSB via plugins. anymore: that is an application detail at this point I think. I would remove that and put it in the What is Possible? section now.

Switch Offline-first with Offline-only

@m3talsmith I may wordsmith it even further to say "Offline-first means offline-only". This will hint that:

It is suitable for offline-first use
We are not entertaining ideas that require TCP/UDP currently

Got some comments from a project outsider who I asked for feedback:

There is no measurable or discernible way to say one phase is done and the next phase should begin. I could see that being a trap of being stuck in each phase for too long. Minimum requirements and nice-to-haves probably should be defined for each phase.
