-Each Flockr has :
+Each Flockr contains following info :
   * [[Profile]]
-  * list of its [[Flock]]s where it is registered. Note: maybe it should be stored in the profile.
+  * list of its [[Flock]]s where it is registered.

-Not sure where to place: list of its friends [[Flockr]]s such that the [[Profile]] can be consulted offline. When a Flockr is connected for which there is a cached [[Profile]], he should propagate the necessary changed events to make sure that both the cached Profile and the Flocks of the other Flockrs are updated.
+A Flockr should have a local and remote interface.
+The remote interface is the entity that gets exported to the ambient which at least contains:
+  * [[Profile]]
+  * predefined [[Flock]]s
+[[Flockr]] actually should be able to decide who can see him. How? maybe Profile?
+The local interface receives the 3 types events from the discovery.
+There should be a list of its friends [[Flockr]]s such that the [[Profile]] can be consulted offline. When a Flockr is connected for which there is a cached [[Profile]], he should propagate the necessary changed events to make sure that both the cached Profile and the Flocks of the other Flockrs are updated.
+  * xtof suggestion to implement this:
+    * Make "cached" object abstraction. It is just a proxy object which forwards to the online version when it's online, otherwise the catched version. Every update, replaces the cached version with a clone. In other words, keeps a cached object that gets updated when you are connected.
+    * This abstraction could be used for any list of [[Flockr]]s that need offline Profile visualization. Maybe useful also for applications.
