Unhappy Linking two controllers together - the how? part

There has been lots of talk about the new controllers' i/o functions and, more specifically, ways of linking the edu controller to the main controller.

Being kinda inexpierienced when it comes to these types of things, could some of you guys explain how this would work? Specifically details about synchronizing the two codes. When do you read in (serin?) info and when do you output info? What are the steps to synchronize the two? Say that you'd use the serial port... is there any special data/packet formatting that you have to do?

I (and I'm sure a lot of other programmers too scared to say it) basically have no idea where we would start with something like this. Anyone care to go over the concepts?
