I would suggest that we build the API library and one front-end GUI 
implementation. Then anyone else can take that and build any custom GUI 
they like. If someone in the team wants to go off and prototype a 
"simple" GUI as a proof of concept then great. It would prove out the API.

I originally suggested perhaps having a dynamic library partly because 
that's what I used to doing at work when we build larger systems. 
However I am fine with a static library in this instance - it meets the 
requirements.
