Application writers' guide

[mossid]

Applications on IBC have to be run independently of the machine architectures. A guide(or a checklist) for application writers will be beneficial to check whether their application is truely IBC compatible or not.

The guide will contain the corresponding elements between different chain architectures, so the writers can assign them into the application to check the universality.

This is a subset of cosmos/ibc#260, but we can track it separately.

Do you want to write this @mossid, or do you want me to write it? Either is fine with me.

This documentation should live in the SDK, not the spec repository.

It would be really nice to be able to have this be a tutorial driven through the scaffold. That way users could come out with their own blockchain with a custom protocol!

@marbar3778 Are you interested in this, potentially?

I can take this on, but not for a bit, trying to move the Tendermint Protobuf work forward.

Aye, thanks, not urgent.
