+GLib with kdbus support
+=======================
+
+The main goal of the project is add support for kdbus in GLib. More info about development status and some 
implementation details you can find here:
+
+https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721861
+
+The most important tasks in new implementation are:
+
+- add low-level support for kdbus,
+
+- add support for two new bus types called "user" and "machine" (for kdbus purposes),
+
+- introduce new library API for common tasks such as fetching the list of name
+  owners on the bus, checking sender's PID, ..., (because it is not permitted to make
+  calls to the org.freedesktop.DBus destination on the new bus types),
+
+What is kdbus?
+==============
+
+kdbus is a Linux kernel D-Bus implementation. See kdbus.txt in kdbus repository [1] for kernel-side details. 
The userspace side is also developed in systemd repo [2].
