+
+Working with afb-daemon
+-----------------------
+
+
+
+Future of afb-daemon
+--------------------
+
+- Integration of the protocol JSON-RPC for the websockets.
+
+- The binder afb-daemon would launch the applications directly.
+
+- The current setting of mode (local/remote/global) might be reworked to a
+mechanism for querying configuration variables.
+
+- Implements "one-shot" initial token. It means that after its first
+authenticated use, the initial token is removed and no client can connect
+anymore.
