[g-a-devel]Re: [g_a-devel] Proposed implementation agnostic GNOME Speech API.

Hi Olaf,

> Do you have the API somewhere documented?

Not at the moment. I spend a ridiculous amount of time doing the 
documentation for the GSAPI project in one form, just to redo the 
whole thing again in gtk+ format afterwards. I decided to leave 
the documentation to last this time. The best approach would be 
to look at the test application in the test-capi directory (see 
second attachment to the bug).

But...

The existing implementation uses Bonobo/ORBit2 which I don't think is 
going to fly in the KDE world.I intend to now prototype whether it's 
possible to create a second implementation that uses D-BUS instead 
which hopefully has a better chance of bridging the two desktops.

Stat tuned. It won't be quick as I have too many other things on my plate.
If you'd like to help, please let me know.

Thanks.
