Hi. http://www.freedesktop.org/
They are trying to define and implement a common infrastructure for UNIX desktops (DBUS and HAL are just some of them, there's an entire list there). How about we start looking at this, because both GNOME and KDE4 will implement this architecture (or so it is planned). Last time i built DBUS (about 9 months ago or so), it sort of worked, emphasis on "sort of". AFACS, HAL is in a pretty incipient stage, and, to my knowledge, there's been very little (if any) Solaris work done. there's a big empty spot there. So, i was thinking, maybe DBUS and HAL would be two good places to start longer-term work (for KDE4), while we iron out our community agreement that we won't be building 12 different versions of Python ever again. :-P Second suggestion: how about shorter-term work on 64-bit KDE ? it was requested by Dr. Geoff Arnold -- Distinguished Engineer @ Sun. and i think he is right in requesting it, and i think we should do it. SuSE did it already. we are falling behind. :-) Third suggestions: maybe we should move the KDE specific discussions to the kde-solaris list (or maybe just make up our own private mailing lists and communicate that way, or maybe some other way). i feel a little uncomfortable subjecting everyone on the os-discuss list to items which are rather specific (and not necessarily interesting to everyone). just my suggestions. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
