### Analysis
> Will you use data abstraction? How?
TCP communication will be abstracted away so will only deal with Hermes

definition of a message.
We will try to encrypt the messages passed around. The encryption will be
abstracted away so we only have to think about it once during implementation

> Will you use recursion? How?
The server will continually loop waiting for connections from clients.
The Gui will continually loop to handle input with the user, and to and fro
Hermes.

> Will you use map/filter/reduce? How?
Map will be used for dealing with editor area of clients. Iterating over a list
of open ports to send messages(we expect a lot more but these are ones off the
top of our heads)

> Will you use object-orientation? How?
Keeping count of the number of clients will require an object of some sort.

> Will you use functional approaches to processing your data? How?
The communication part of Hermes is over tcp which uses a lot of functional
approaches e.g. you start a listener which you can then pass to tcp accept.

The result of tcp accept are two pairs of ports which we can then bind to some
variables.

> Will you use state-modification approaches? How? (If so, this should be encapsulated within objects. `set!` pretty much should only exist inside an object.)
State-modification will be used e.g. keeping count of logged in users requires
state modification via set! to maintain the true user account

> Will you build an expression evaluator, like we did in the symbolic differentatior and the metacircular evaluator?
@ -67,7 +66,7 @@ Evaluating Hermes is very simple. Can at least two clients hold a meaningful
conversation remotely? If Client A speaks at 11:01 am, and client B does so at
11:01 plus a few seconds, Hermes has to convey this state correctly. Is the GUI
intuitive for current irc users? When we can successfully answer this questions
satisfactorily we would have met our goals .
