[GnomeMeeting-devel-list] [3d round] Dbus' future in gnomemeeting

[Julien PUYDT <jpuydt free fr>]

Hi,

here is the current state of my draft for dbus in gnomemeeting 2.0 ; 
since dbus objects come with various interfaces, I propose the following 
 organisation, where I think the net.gnomemeeting.helper interface 
could be managed by another (very little) program.

The reason for that little program is that if a dbus partner just want 
to ask a question about a static thing, then it's a good idea to avoid 
launching the whole gnomemeeting.

If nothing turns up, I'm considering asking people what they think about 
it on dbus' mailing list.
