gnome-keyring Short introduction



Hi everyone,

I'm pretty new to this list and I'd like to introduce myself.

I'm the current maintainer of the KDE Wallet system and I'd like to work 
towards unifying password storage in GNOME and KDE. Stef might remember me - 
we had a short mail-exchange a few months ago.

After having a closer look at what gnome-keyring provides I think that it 
would provide a good platform to use for KDE as well and I just started 
writing a Qt-only library to communicate with the daemon.

In the process of doing so I'd like to document keyring's wire-protocol (if 
there already is a documentation, please tell me) with the ultimate goal of 
allowing other desktop environments and browsers to benefit from a common 
solution as well.

I hope this is something you approve of.

I've already been talking to KDE people to hear what they think and they are 
quite open to a solution integrating keyring. This however is more of a mid- 
to long-term goal as it might require changes to keyring as well. One of the 
major requirements would be migrating from GConf to a solution KDE could tap 
into as well - unfortunately THE free desktop config framework isn't quite 
there yet :-)

Kind Regards,
Michael
