 ==== Profiles ====
-  * Profiles: each flockr has a profile. There is a minimal set of properties that are present in each profile (such that proximities (e.g. a "doesProfileMatch" proximity) can be defined based on these properties).

-  * Profile Dude: manages the profiles. Is responsible of propagating "changed events" to the other "reachable" flockrs.
+  * Changed events: when a Flockr modifies his Profile, a change event is propagated to the remote interfaces of all other Flockrs. In reaction to these events, all connected Flockrs propagate these events to the interested Proximities.
-  * Changed events: when a flockr modifies his profile, the Profile Dude broadcasts a change event to all other flockrs. In reaction to these events, all connected flockrs should re-evaluate their proximities such that the flocks can reflect the change in the profile.
+  * Caching: Each Flockr keeps a cached Profile of the other Flockrs 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.
