Robert and all, I would appreciate a clarification in the following issues:
Currently how does the Presence Service and Telepathy-Salut communicate with each other? Is it through the PS DBus API (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Presence_Service_DBus_API)? My understanding is that this API is the interface between the sugar environment, activities, etc., and Presence Service; is this correct? In re-factoring Salut to use a Cerebro DBus service instead of Avahi, what are the things that we must watch out for in order to avoid breaking PS? I hope my questions are clear, Rene De Santiago On Feb 18, 2008, at 6:55 AM, Robert McQueen wrote: > Our suggestion would therefore be that we look at refactoring Salut > (obviously we'd be happy to help) so that it can use your presence > system as an alternative source of information, perhaps using your > code > as D-Bus service in a similar way that it currently uses the system- > wide > Avahi service to do mDNS for it.
