Display a notification using the title given on the command-line and the
message given in the standard input.

Priority can be one of the following named keys: Very Low, Moderate, Normal,
High, Emergency. It can also be an int between -2 and 2.

To be compatible with gNotify the following switch is accepted:
    -t,--title      Does nothing. Any text following will be treated as the
                    title because that's the default argument behaviour

同じネットワークいる他のコンピュータにnotificationを送ったり、その情報を暗号化したりいろいろできそうですね。

同じ開発チームのメンバー全員にメッセージ送ったりしてる実例はあるのでしょうか？やはりSkypeなどで連絡をとりあうのでしょうか？
