Documentation is updated, but it is still far incomplete. I've planned
to improve it covering all aspects in Grilo from using it to how to
write a plugin, and all concepts involved.

In any case, do not hesitate to contact with me or any other Grilo
developer. You can find us in #grilo channel at irc.gnome.org (not sure
if I will be connected today Monday 30th). My nickname is jasuarez.

Well, for sure Vala bindings are in the project, as well as other
bindings thanks to introspection.

Those bindings have been provided to write clients accessing Grilo
functionality. Not sure if they are enough to write also plugins. In any
case, do not hesitate to contact with us by IRC.
