Hello,

I added this page to the dbus wiki. There's a doxygen documentation
inside the dbus-c++ package. Also some examples are beside the code. So
far dbus-c++ works with it's own main loop and the glib main loop.

Maybe it's possible simply to improve dbus-c++ by writing some more
docs.

I'm currently porting dbus-c++ to work with the ecore main loop. The
original maintainer had not many time to help me, but he's still
available.

One problem is that nobody helped me to get a GIT access on
freedesktop.org. This is really annoying! I thought about forking it
for that reason. At the moment I develop my own version without
commiting anything.

So if you're interested in dbus-c++ please contact me. I'm trying to
get a group together which is interested in maintaining dbus-c++.

Andreas
