Hi, as you might know I'm working on the dbus API for the forthcoming phone server. There's a conceptual disagreement about whether to use a mainly synchronous or mainly asynchronous API, e.g. would you rather call a method that returns the results or call a method that triggers a signal that will eventually come.
The synchronous API may be simpler to follow, however the asynchronous API is more natural since both the modem and the UI are basically event-based models. However, it looks like 90% of the existing dbus APIs are using the synchronous approach. This decision is quite important as it lays out the base for the phone server architecture and possibly eventually a reimplementation of the gsm 0707 backend. Please give your input -- for reference, the current state of the dbus API can be checked out with: svn co svn://projects.linuxtogo.org/svn/smartphones/trunk
