the xmule2 team is writing such a thing... actually a full rewrite of the edonkey core, and they want to make it possible to have plugins for other p2p networks like mldonkey has.
but thats quite different from amule - which is just a WORKING xmule fork - so gui and core are 1. I think its hard for the ppl writing this to seperate them.
Within months (might take even a year) I think there *might* be a p2p with plugins & sperate gui/core that *works*, let it be xmule2 (or the new name they are choosing) or something else, then I think amule is obsolete. but 'till then its the best p2p for edonkey on linux...
So - I dont think they will seperate the core & gui in amule. But I might be very wrong :roll:
