Hi all,
D-Bus is quickly spreading as an universal way to talk between applications on
the Unix systems, and more particularely (but not only) the Linux platforms:
HAL, GNOME, Avahi, udev, Beagle, Qt and KDE already use it. It is being
ported to Windows and has bindings to many programming languages and
environments. D-Bus is designed to be efficient and easy to use (remind
CORBA ? ;-) ). It is mostly used on one same machine, but can be transported
by TCP/IP. It has authentication mechanisms but no encryption so far (it must
be tunnelled if outside of a firewall-protected area).

UNO is powerful, portable, and at the core of OpenOffice.org, but it has the
disadvantage of not being used outside of OOo.

UNO does not compare exactly to D-Bus, since UNO is a full component model
while D-Bus is more a matter of remote method invocation. However, they can
be used for the same thing: remote control of an application.
Here is my question:
What are the plans to make OOo scriptable through d-bus?
Sorry in advance if this is already answered somewhere, I did not find it.
